PREFACE 



IN the year 1892, the Miles Park Presbyterian Church, feeling 
the urgent need of enlarged facilities for Sunday-school work, 
undertook to erect a new building costing about ^8,500. 
With no prospect of large subscriptions, and fully sensible of the 
heavy responsibility of the undertaking, but with faith in its 
ultimate accomplishment, the work was commenced, and the 
building dedicated January 15, 1893. About $5,000 has been 
raised in small amounts for the payment of this building, no 
appeal having been made to the sister churches of the city for 
aid, although several voluntary subscriptions from the brethren 
of those churches were gratefully received. 

In view of assisting to clear the building of the remaining 
debt of $3,500, this book was conceived and issued. That finan- 
cial help will result from the project is anticipated, but at the 
same time the authors have harbored the secret wish, that even a 
larger benefit might result to the Presbyterian churches of Cleve- 
land, through the issue of this history. 

We hope that it will present to all members of our churches, 
a clear understanding of the growth and strength of Cleveland 
Presbyterianism as a whole, as well as the responsibility for the 
use of the talents, intrusted to us as a denomination. 

While aiming, then, to help the Miles Park Presbyterian 
Church, financially, our prayer is that this hand-book of informa- 
tion, imperfect as it may be, w^ll be the means of binding together 
the churches connected with the Cleveland Presbytery in a more 
intelligent and consecrated union, for larger service to Him who 
has, heretofore, blessed our work with a large measure of success. 

Rev. and Mrs. Arthur C. Ludi^ow. 

Clevela7id, July, i8g6. 



" Still may the call to praise and prayer 
Be heard each Sunday morn, 
And bind in growing faith the past 
With ages yet unborn

Bistory of tfte glevelana Presbytery. 

THE first effectual efforts to establish and sustain institutions 
of religion upon the Western Reserve were made by Pres- 
byterians and Congregationalists, the former emigrating from 
Pennsylvania, and commencing settlements in the southeastern 
part, the latter emigrating from New England, and forming 
settlements in the northeastern part of the Reserve. These two 
religious bodies were in advance of all others. 

The first two missionaries, sent into these, then western 
wilds, were the Rev. William Wick, a Presbyterian from Penn- 
sylvania, and the Rev. Joseph Badger, a Congregationalist from 
New England. The Rev. William Wick came in 1799, three 
years after the first settlements were made at Youngstown by 
emigrants from Pennsylvania, and at Conneaut by New Eng- 
landers. He was a young minister, and preached his first sermon 
at Youngstown. 

The Rev. Joseph Badger came in 1800 from Massachusetts, 
with a commission from the Connecticut Missionary Society, as a 
missionary to the Western Reserve. 

These two men became intimate friends, and together planned 
the advancement of Christ's cause. Mr. Wick, together with 
other Presbyterian ministers, received commissions from the 
Congregational Misssionary Societies, but at the same time as 
the pioneer churches increased in number, they assumed the form 
of a Presbytery. 

The "Plan of Union" was devised, which brought the 
ministers and churches of both denominations together in Chris- 
tian effort, allowing each to retain denominational affiliations. 

October 15, 18 14, the Synod of Pittsburgh erected out of the 
Presbytery of Hartford, the Presbytery of Grand River, which was 
to occupy the whole of the Western Reserve, with the exception of 
ten towns in the southeastern part. At the Euclid Church (now 
East Cleveland) this new Presbytery met November 8, 18 14. 
Three ministers, Revs. Joseph Badger, Giles H. Cowles and 
Thomas Barr w^ere present, also two lay delegates, Elder J. Ruple

of the Presbyterian Church in Euclid, and Deacon M. Cook, of 
the Burton Congregational Church. The Rev. Simeon Wood- 
ruff was examined and admitted to membership in this new 
Presbytery. 

At Burton, February 14, 18 15, a Confession of Faith was 
adopted for the churches, under the care of this Presbytery. 
That year seven ministers and eight churches were reported 
to the General Assembly. The ministers were Revs. 
Badger, Barr, Cowles, Seward, Coe, Woodruff, and Hanford ; 
the churches, those at Austinburgh, Euclid, Aurora, Hudson, 
Mantua, Nelson, Burton and Rootstown, with a membership of 
two hundred and thirty-nine. The next two years the ministers 
who were admitted to the Presbytery were Revs. J. Leslie, L. Hum- 
phrey, C. Pitkin, J. Treat and A. Coe. The increase of churches 
was larger, those at Harpersfield, Tallmadge, Vernon, Sharon, 
Painesville, Hambden, Greene, Johnston, Williamsfield, Dover, 
Madison, Kingsville, Ashtabula, Brecksville, Branfield, Bloom- 
field, Streetsboro, Stowe, and Harrisville, being added. 

In October of 18 18, the S3^nod of Pittsburgh made the 
Presbytery of Portage a part of the Grand River Presbyter3^ 
This new body held its first meeting at Hudson, December 8, 
1 81 8. Five years later, in 1823, the Presbytery of Huron was 
formed to occupy all the territory west of Cuyahoga and Portage 
counties, to the west line of the state. 

At Hudson, September 27, 1825, according to an act of the 
General Assembly, the Synod of the Western Reserve was organ- 
ized, embracing the Presbyteries of Grand River, Portage and 
Huron. The Rev. Joseph Badger preached the opening sermon 
from the text : " We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the 
Lord." Thirty-three ministers constituted this Synod. During 
the month of May, 1827, the General Assembly created a new 
Presbytery, that of Detroit, to occupy the whole territory of 
Michigan. This new Presbytery was attached to the Synod of 
the Western Reserve. 

In the following September, at its meeting in Nelson, the 
Synod created the Presbytery of Trumbull, out of the Presbytery 
of Grand River. Thus the Synod of Western Reserve, at this 
time, embraced the five Presbyteries of Grand River, Portage, 
Huron, Detroit, and Trumbull. At its meeting, held in EucUd,

October 6, 1830, this Synod organized the Presbytery of Cleve- 
land, out of the counties of Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Medina, with 
their ministers and churches. The ministers, who were charter 
members of this new Cleveland Presbytery, were Joseph Edwards, 
Simeon Woodruff, Israel Shailer, Stephen V. Barnes, Alfred H. 
Betts, Daniel W. I^athrop, John McCrea, Stephen Peet, Harvey 
lyyon, and Joel Talcott. 

The Cleveland Presbytery held its first meeting at Dover, 
October 26, 1830. The Rev. Joseph Edwards, who was ap- 
pointed to preside at the organization, was absent, and his place 
was taken by Rev. Simeon Woodruff, senior minister present. 
The twenty-four congregations, which composed the Cleveland 
Presbytery at its organization, were those of Dover, Avon, 
Strongsville, Sheffield, Medina, Brunswick, Brownhelm, Brecks- 
ville, Brooklyn, Granger, Bath, Westfield, Euclid, Elyria, Ridge- 
ville, Wellington, Wadsworth, Richfield, Cleveland, Penfield, 
Harrisville, Hinckley, Columbia, and Guilford. 

At a meeting of the Western Reserve Synod, held in Cleve- 
land in 1836, two new Presbyteries were created out of the 
Presbytery of Cleveland, namely: those of Lorain and Medina, in- 
cluding all the ministers and churches in those counties. Thus 
in the growth of Christian work, the Presbytery of Cleveland 
was reduced to the geographical limits of Cuyahoga County, and 
remained within these bounds twenty- seven years. 

In 1863, the Synod annexed the Presbytery of Portage to 
that of Cleveland, thus adding fourteen ministers and six 
churches. In 1866, the Presbytery of Elyria was dissolved, and 
part of its ministers and churches added to the Presbytery of 
Cleveland and Portage, and in about this form the Presbytery of 
Cleveland and Portage remained, until the Reconstruction, or 
Reunion of the Old and New School branches of the church in 
1870. At that time, most of the territory of old Portage was 
dropped, and there was added the Old School Presbytery of 
Western Reserve, which had occupied the same territory, and 
the Presbytery of Grand River, thus adding eight ministers, and 
the following churches to the Cleveland Presbytery, namely : 
Nottingham, Rome, Orwell, Northfield, Bedford, Ashtabula, 
Kingsville, Guilford, Lafayette, and Springfield. 

Many of the churches, mentioned in the development of 



12 HISTORY OF CLEVEI.AND PRESBYTERIANISM. 

religious work in the vicinity of Cleveland, were organized as 
Congregational churches, but united with the Presbytery and 
Synod under the "Plan of Union,'' which was approved by 
the Congregational churches of New England, and by the 
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, but this "Plan 
of Union," under which the churches seemed to enjoy great 
prosperity, was dissolved. The first step which caused this 
dissolution, was the attitude taken by the Presbyterian Church, in 
general, toward the Congregationalists. The Presbyterians of the 
Western Reserve continued to labor in loving union with their 
brethren, the Congregationalists, and in other parts of the Pres- 
byterian Church there was little sympathy with the crusade, 
which arose against Congregationalism. In a portion of the 
Presbyterian Church, however, there arose a war upon doctrinal 
errors, which were said to exist exclusively in regions, where the 
Congregational element abounded. This war upon New England 
Congregationalism was well adapted to weaken the fraternal 
feeling, which had prevailed upon the Western Reserve. The 
final action of the Presbyterian General Assembly, in ex- 
scinding, in 1833, four Presbyterian Synods, which were sus- 
pected of New England heresy, thus forming the Old and New 
School Presbyterian Churches, was well calculated to lead Con- 
gregationalists to think that it was time to look out for them- 
selves. Strong denominational spirit arose on both sides. 

Then there were some Congregational churches that had not 
connected themselves with the Presbytery. They were wholly 
independent of any association. It was thought desirable to look 
after such churches, and to form some bond of union among 
them. Thus Congregational Conferences and Associations were 
formed, and the churches, that had enjoyed a most fraternal union 
in Christian work, began to assume strictly denominational 
life. All efforts, made to heal, seemed only to widen the 
breach, and many other things arose to cause great disturbance 
in the church life of that period, immediately following the 
abrogation of the "Plan of Union." This state of things was 
aggravated by the slavery discussion. In all ecclesiastical 
gatherings, time formally given to councils and measures for the 
advancement of practical church work, was now occupied by the 
most heated debate. 



HISTORY OF THE CLEVELAND PRESBYTERY. 1 3 

In connection with the slavery discussion, there arose 
bitter infidel attacks, and discussions on temperance. Pe- 
culiar " Oberlin Views," or the doctrine of Christian Perfec- 
tion next arose, and this discussion was pressed with a spirit that 
evidently proved the imperfection of the advocates. Last of all 
" Millerism " stirred up the churches. Many professing Chris- 
tians were so carried away with the excitement, that they pledged 
themselves to give up the Bible and all faith, if their calculations 
regarding the Second Coming of Christ proved erroneous. 

The churches, which had walked together in the comfort of 
the Holy Spirit, and which had been greatly multiplied, were 
thus brought into a period of strife and contention ; but finally 
all seems to have been overruled for good. The churches, once 
under a "Plan of Union," now form the basis of two strong 
denominations, and peace and good works characterize the Presby- 
terian and Congregational Churches of Northern Ohio. In the 
smaller places where one exists, the other does not seek to go, 
while in the city the field is large enough for the utmost en- 
deavors of both denominations, the only provocation being that 
unto love and good works. 



CDaracter of Clevelana Presbyterianlstti.^ 



OF Cleveland Presbyterianism it may be said that it was from 
the beginning New Knglandized, and then recruited from 
New York rather than from Pennsylvania. In type of theo- 
logical belief, then, it has always been liberal, but at the same 
time evangelical and fairly aggressive, as seen in its missionary 
spirit. The network of churches now numbers seventeen, count- 
ing the East Cleveland, Windermere, and Glenville Churches, 
which are out of the city only by a narrow bound. The aggre- 
gate membership of these churches is about 6,500. All the 
congregations are housed in admirable buildings, and the value 
of the property is fully $1,000,000. These churches furnish sit- 
tings for about 10,000 worshipers, while in the Sunday-schools 
there are 6,500 scholars. 

The reported charities of the churches for the year 1895 
amounted to $342,754 ; their congregational expenses, in part for 
new buildings, amounted to $120,218 — a total of $462,972. Is 
it a wonder that in the church at large there is the title given us, 
" Mission Loving Cleveland?" From 1876 to 1896 the Presb}^- 
terian Church of Cleveland trebled in numbers, while the popu- 
lation of the city doubled. In all the undenominational works of 
charity Cleveland Presbyterians take a conspicuous part. To the 
various Christian Associations, Friendly Inns, Kindergartens, 
Nurseries and Hospitals, Presbyterians give heart}^ support. The" 
Home for Aged Women, the Children's Aid Societ}^ Farm, Home, 
and Chapel, the Infants' Rest, the lyCnd-a-Hand Mission build- 
ing, and two Day Nurseries, are exclusiveh' the gifts of Presb)- 
terians and their affiliations. 

In educational matters the record of Cleveland Presbyterians 
is admirable. Western Reserve College, now Adelbert College 
of Western Reserve University, although not a denominational 
institution, has received, from the beginning of its existence at 
Hudson, the support of Cleveland Presbyterians. The Old 
College Church was a Plan of Union Church under the care of

the Cleveland Presbytery until it was disbanded in 1882, when 
the college was removed to Cleveland. Four of the six Presi- 
dents of the institution were Presbyterians : Presidents Pierce, 
Hitchcock, Cutler, and Haydn.

Rev. Carroll Cutler, D.D. Rev. Hiram C. Haydn, D.D., L.L.D. 

Presbyterian money has gone in large sums to this institution, 
and Mr. Amasa Stone, whose munificent gifts brought the college 
to Cleveland, where it now thrives, was a trustee of the First 
Church. It is not claimed that Leonard Case, the founder of 
Case School of Applied Science, was a Presbyterian, but he was 
the personal friend of Dr. Goodrich, and a pew-holder to the day

of his death in the First Church. Mr. J. L. Woiods, who did so 
much for the Western Reserve Medical School, was a Trustee of 
the First Church. Mr. James F. Clark, Mr. George M3^gatt, 
Mrs. Mather, Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. James Clark, Mrs. F. T. 
Backus, Col. John Hay and W. S. Tyler, Esq., are names of those 
affiliated in one way or another with the Old Stone or First 
Church, and from these persons have come the gifts which are 
making Cleveland such a leading educational center to-day. In 
the past seventeen years these persons have given over ^3,000,000 
to educational purposes. 

Besides these are Mr. H. B. Hurlbut, munificent patron of 
art, hospitals and education ; Mr. E. I. Baldwin, Mr. T. P. 
Handy, Mr. Dan P. Eells, Mr. T. D. Crocker of the Second 
Church ; and Mr. Joseph Perkins, Mr. H. R. Hatch and Miss 
Anne Walworth of the Euclid Avenue Church, recognized 
among the large donors and life-long friends of education. A 
host of others are worthy of honorable mention. Oberlin College 
must have received from Cleveland Presbyterians about $150,000. 
Lane Seminary, Berea, Hampton and other Southern institutions 
have had generous remembrance. Great as the past ma}^ seem 
in this direction of educational and charitable work, the promise 
of the future is that of greater things. 

The work of Cleveland Presbyterians cannot be judged 
simply by its denominational statistics, but in addition to these, 
there is the broader work which tends toward the establishment 
of the kingdom of God in the City of Cleveland.

Cbe Presbyterian Union. 



ON the evening of November 13, 1869, a meeting was held in 
the chapel of the Westminster Church to consider the ex- 
tension of Presbyterianism in the City of Cleveland. The Pastors 
and Elders of the First, Second, Euclid Street and Westminster 
Churches were present. After discussing the field, a committee 
was appointed consisting of Messrs. R. F. Smith, J. B. Meriam, 
S. ly. Severance and C S. Bragg, to look over the city and to 
report at a future meeting. At the next meeting held December 
10, 1869, this committee reported three fields as inviting, namely: 
Case Avenue, Woodland Avenue and the West Side. A com- 
mittee consisting of Dr. Lyman, and Messrs. Bragg and Smith 
was appointed to draft a constitution, and Mr. J. B. Meriam was 
appointed Treasurer. The meeting adjourned to convene the 
second Monday in January, 1870. At that meeting, held in the 
Westminster Church, January 10, 1870, sixteen members were

present. Rev. James Eells, D.D., was called to the chair, and 
R. F. Smith, Esq., was appointed Secretary pro tern. 

The committee, appointed to draw up a constitution, brought 
in Articles of Association of the Cleveland Presbyterian Union. 
These were seven in number, binding the churches to united 
effort in the work of church extension. The first officers were : 
President, Rev. W. H. Goodrich, D.D.; Vice-President, Rev. 
James Eells, D.D ; Secretary, Mr. C. S. Bragg; Treasurer, Mr. 
Joseph Perkins. 

The first Executive Committee was composed of Mr. R. F. 
Smith of the First Church ; Mr. S. E. Severance of the Second 
Church; Rev. O. A. hymau, D.D., of the Euclid Avenue 
Church, and Mr. Geo. H. Wyman of the Westminster Church. 
The second year Dr. Eells became President, and Rev. E. B. 
Raffensperger was elected Vice-President. The third year Mr, 
Raffcnsperger became President of the Union, and in 1873 M^r. 
T. P. Handy was elected to that office. Dr. Haydn then served 
as President for two years, and in 1875 Mr. Handy again became 
President, which office he held to the delight of the whole church 
until 1893, when, feeling compelled to relinquish the duties of that 
office, he was made President Emeritus, and Mr. L. H. Sever- 
ance was elected President. 

Among those who have served the Union, we find as Vice- 
Presidents : Mr. T. P. Handy, Hon. G. H. Ely, Mr. Dan P. 
Eells, Rev. F. A. Horton, D.D., Dr. Haydn, Dr. Mitchell, Dr. 
W. V. W. Davis, Dr. Spining, Dr. Bushnell, Mr. R. F. Smith 
and Mr. S. P. Fenn. The Secretaries have been : Mr. Dan P. 
Eells, Mr. Q. J. Benham, Mr. J. B. Meriam, Mr. H. S. Whittle- 
sey, Rev. J. A. Skinner, Rev. J. A. Seymour, Mr. C. H. Beards- 
lee and Mr. William A. Galpin. The Treasurers have been : 
Mr. George Mygatt, Mr. S. L. Severance, Mr. O. J. Benham, 
Mr. S. P. Fenn, Mr. H. S. Whittlesey, Mr. Chas. W. Chase and 
Mr. C. J. Dockstader. 

The first public meeting of the Union was held in the First 
Church, Sunday evening, April 21, 1872. There have been from 
time to time Annual Banquets. A resolution was passed May 8, 
187 1, to hold regular quarterh' meetings, and these have been 
the principal meetings of the Union, attended for the most part 
by the pastors and elders of the churches. 



THE PRESBYTERIAN UNION. 



21 



About five years ago there was manifested a desire to liave 
the Union incorported that it might hold property, and that it 
might be in a condition to be the recipient of any bequests that 
might be made for the extension of Christ's kingdom in the city. 
To this end Articles of Incorporation of the Presbyterian Union 
of Cleveland were filed at Columbus, April 24, 1891; the in- 
corporators in behalf of the old Union being Messrs. S. H. 
Mather, F. C. Keith, C. H. Beardslee, J. A. Robinson and J. E. 
Ingersoll. The constitution adopted is as follows :

needs of the L'nion for the work of the ensuing 5'ear, and of the probable

During the years of the existence of this Union, it has given 
aid to the churches of the Presbytery as follows: North Church, 
$8,634; Case Avenue, $5,466; Willson Avenue, $2,350; Beth- 
any, besides the building fund of $9,400, ^9,050, a total of 
$18,450; South Church, $8,924; Madison Avenue, $3,000; Glen- 
ville Church, $1,120; Windermere Chapel, $1,400. The total 
amount paid to churches by the Union, as such, is about $50,000. 
Besides these sums of money, used almost wholly for current 
expenses, the Union has authorized the circulation of subscrip- 
tions which brought to the Woodland Aventte, Case Avenue, 
North and Beckwith Churches, in all, over $50,000. For Cal- 
vary, Bolton and Madison Avenue Churches no subscription was

circulated outside of the First Church, with the exception that 
in the North Church some money was raised for Madison Ave- 
nue. The Union is aiming to extend its membership to incUide 
all members of the churches, nevertheless its meetings are 
attended, as in the earlier days, mainly by the officers of the 
churches, but the denomination has so grown, that these alone 
make large and interesting meetings. Under its present form of 
organization the future of the Union cannot but be one of great 
power in the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom, through the exten- 
sion of Presbyterian Churches in the city of Cleveland. The 
officers at present are as follows : 

President, Mr. L- H. Severance; President Emeritus, Hon. 
T. P. Handy ; Vice-President, Mr. S. P. Fenn ; Treasurer, Mr. 
C J. Dockstader ; Secretary, Mr. William A. Galpin. 

Trustees— Mr. J. A. Seaton, Mr. J. W. Walton, Mr. A. 
Richardson, Mr. F. C. Keith, Mr. H. C. Whittlesey, Mr. James 
Robinson, Mr. O. N. Ferry, Mr. William A. Galpin. 



Che Presbyterian Club of Clevelanl 

¥ 

By the Secretary, Rev. Ai^thur J. Waugh. 

T TNFORTUNATELY some 
^-^ obscurity envelopes the 
early history of this organization. 
The proceedings of the meetings 
were recorded in three volumes 
of minutes, the first of which is 
lost, owing to the death of the 
original Secretar3^ Rev. Anson 
Smyth, D.D. The writer re- 
gards himself as one of the char- 
ter members of the Club, but it is 
impossible to give the exact date 
when the organization occurred. 
He remembers to have attended 
Rev. E. Bushneli, D.D. some of the early gatherings as 

long ago as the Spring of 1881. 
The objects of the Club have been social, literary and spirit- 
ual. The several pastors living in or rear the city felt the need 
of personal touch, each with the other, and in a less formal 
manner than at the occasional gatherings of the Presbytery. 
Nor did the meetings of the City Ministers' Union serve exacth^ 
the purposes contemplated. They desired to know one another 
intimately as brothers in a great denomination, to come together 
in one another's homes, to dine together, to discuss matters of 
common interest, and to gather inspiration in a common toil. 
It was early decided that, in order to avoid publicity and to enjoy 
the greatest freedom of opinion and of debate, the almost omni- 
present reporter should be excluded from the Club meetings. 
At the date to which we refer, scarcely a single church had the 
same pastor that it has to-day, although the entire membership 
of the Club has not changed. 

Dr. Smyth, whom we have mentioned, although well along 
in years, was supplying churches as occasion required. Dr.

Eleroy Curtis was in the church at Newburgh, while Dr. Arthur 
Mitchell had just entered upon his pastorate at the Stone Church. 
Dr. McGiffert had even then been many years at Ashtabula, 
where he yet remains and occasionally attends the meetings of 
the Club. Rev. J. Lovejoy Robertson ministered to the Euclid 
Avenue Church, and Dr. Gaston had just entered upon his 
pastorate of the North Church. Dr. Pomeroy was in the Second 
Church, and was one of the most active at the beginning in 
pushing the organization. The Woodland Avenue Church had 
just called Dr. Spining, while Francis A. Horton was the zealous 
pastor of the young Case Avenue Church. From Hudson came 
Rev. T. Y. Gardner, who has recently rejoined the Club as pastor 
of the Glenville Church. President Carroll Cutler, of Western 
Reserve University, was generally present with us, and enter- 
tained us at his home. The church in East Cleveland, then 
called CoUamer, was ministered unto by the Rev. Robert D. 
Scott, while our good friend Rollo Ogden was conducting affairs 
at Calvary Chapel. A licentiate of the Presbytery, W- W. Gist, 
sometimes came from his charge at Wickliffe. Revs. Peter 
Kimball, Milton A. Sackett, Henry B. Eldred, Dr. J. G. Hall, 
J. B. Allen, and J. A. Seymour, were also earh- members, and 
two of these brethren are yet with. us. Rev. John H. Jones, of 
the First Church of Akron, occasionally came to the meetings. 
These, besides the writer, composed the Club in those days. 

At the meetings of the Club, it is the custom to have a 
paper read by one of the members, appointed a month in advance. 
This follows the regular routine business and devotional exer- 
cises, and is itself followed by a more or less spirited discussion,, 
it being often difficult to limit the same to the five minutes 
allotted to each member. As the discussion moves slowly around 
the room, it seems only to gather in animation and interest ; but 
the dining hour is the end of the intellectual contest, and the 
brethren then gather about the tables. After dinner the members 
disperse, only anxious for Luna to roll the month around. The 
meetings from the beginning have been held on the first Monday 
of the month. 

The entertainment has always been provided by each of the 
brethren in turn, the host of the day sending out the invitations 
and program a few days preceeding each gathering. In the 



28 HISTORY OF CLKVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 

early days of the Club, the social features of the gathering were 
more prominent than of later years. The brother entertaining 
formerly invited the Club to his home. Thus we were accus- 
tomed to meet, with some degree of regularit}^ one another's 
wives; but the meetings increasing in size and proving more and 
more a burden to the good housewife, the entertainers have 
gradually settled into the custom of receiving the Club at the 
Forest City House. 




Original Presbyterian Club. 

In the early eighties, Dr. Pomeroy was an adept amateur 
photographer. At a meeting of the Club, held at the home of 
Rev. F. A. Horton on Sibley street. Dr. Pomeroy took the above 
picture of the Club, the members being grouped on the lawn at the 
northeast corner of the pastor's residence. Counting the Doctor 
himself, we made thirteen. Five of the group have already 
passed over the river, and there they form a saintly company.

In the picture six of the company stand in the rear. They are, 
from left to right: Smyth, Robertson, Horton, Seymour, 
Ogden, and Gaston. Seated in chairs in front of these are 
Jones, Mitchell, Hall, Eldred, and Curtis. The present Secre- 
tary has a lower seat in front of Dr. Hall. 

The minutes of the first meeting in the second volume may 
be interesting. They are in the handwriting of our j oiliest 
member, Dr. Smyth. They are as follows :

Present, alphabetically arranged, Bros. Bushnell, Chester, Curtis, 
Cutler, Eldred, Gaston, Hall, McGiffert, Pomeroy, Robertson, 
Seymour, Smith, Smyth. Opened with prayer by Bro. Chester. 
On motion of Bro. Smyth, Bro. Bushnell was chosen Moderator 
for the current year. It was decided to elect a Secretary, and, 
on motion of Bro. Chester, Bro. Smyth was chosen. Bro, Pom- 
eroy was appointed to select topics for discussion at our future 
meetings. 

On request, Bro. Cutler gave an interesting account of the 
state of religion in the countries of Europe which he had recently 
visited. The subject of City Evangelization was presented by 
Bro. McGiffert, and it was briefly discussed by others. Bro. 
Nehmeyer, pastor of the Reformed Church in this city, being 
present, was proposed for membership, and the matter was post- 
poned to the next meeting. The subject of Interdenomina- 
tional Comity was selected for discussion at our next meeting, 
and Bro. Pomeroy was requested to introduce the subject. 
After lunch it was voted to accept Bro. Bushnell' s invitation to 
hold the February meeting with him, the place to be designated 
in his card of invitation. 

Closed with prayer by Brother Smith. 

Attest: Anson Smyth, Secretary.'' 

Dr. John G. Hall was made the Secretary at the May meeting 
of 1887, and he served until January, 1892, when the present 
Secretary was elected. Dr. Bushnell became the Moderator of

HIS Society was organized September lo, 1873, although in 



■I reality it is the outgrowth of a society organized a year 
earlier, and called " The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of 
the Presbyterian Churches of Cleveland." This latter organiza- 
tion was effected June 12, 1872, in the parlors of the Second 
Church on Superior Street. The meeting was called to order by 
Dr. Goodrich, pastor of the First Church, who explained its 
object, and gave a brief history of Woman's Foreign Missionary 
Society which had been in existence for forty years in Cleveland. 
This society w^as organized in the Old Stone Church in 1833, and 
deserves passing mention. It met first at the homes of its mem- 
bers, and from its ranks there went forth missionaries in the

early 3'ears of its existence. Rev. Samuel Hutchings, who sup- 
plied the First Church one year, and his young wife went to 
Ceylon. Miss Sarah Van Tine married Dr. Adams, and went to 
Natal, Africa. Miss Kate Jennings married Rev. Mr. Parsons, 
and went to Armenia. 

As other churches were formed the meetings were continued, 
letters were read from the Foreign Field, and busy fingers 
prepared boxes of clothing for the missionaries "The memory 
of this Society is numbered among the most cherished recollec- 
tions of Cleveland's early history." Of those venerable women, 
the founders of this "Parlor Missionary Society," but few 
remain, but their names are cherished by those who have taken 
up their pioneer work. Among them were Mrs. Gaylord, Mrs. 
Lathrop, Mrs. Starkweather, Mrs. Weddell, Mrs. Kelsey, Mrs. 
Shepard, Mrs. Foot, Mrs. Benedict, and many others ; while of 
the living, Mrs. Severance, Mrs. Converse and many others, bear 
witness to the zeal and inspiration which that time-honored 
Foreign Missionar}^ Society awakened in the women of Cleve- 
land forty years ago. 

With some regret its members saw the dissolution of their 
old Societ}^ but gave their cordial support to the new one, which 
the needs of the work, and the growing city required. Mrs. 
Mary H. Severance was elected President of the new Society ; 
Mrs. George H. Ely and Mrs. E. H. Huntington, Vice-Presi- 
dents ; Miss Anne Walworth, Treasurer, and Mrs. H. G. Ham- 
mond, Secretary. Upon the Executive Committee were Mrs. H. 
C. Haydn, Mrs. Samuel Williamson, Mrs. H. R. Hoisington, 
Miss Mary E. Ingersoll and Miss Julia Haskell. 

At the first annual meeting of this Society, the First, Second, 
Euclid Avenue, Woodland Avenue and North Presbyterian 
Churches are reported among the contributors, while ' ' The 
Little Rill Band" of the First Church, and the " Ladies' Parlor 
Missionary Society" are credited with contributions. The 
receipts for the first year were ^1,033. Of this amount ^500 
was sent to aid in the purchase of a building in Woodstock, 
India, to be used for a school for the children of missionaries, 
and as a health resort for their parents ; $45 was sent to support 
a pupil in Sidon, Syria, and $300 was given to the general fund

of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian 
Church. 

At this first annual meeting the Rev. J. A. Skinner, pastor 
of the Case Avenue Church, proposed a change of "name and 
scope" of the Society, which should make it strictly a Presby- 
terial organization, and more in harmony with the existing 
methods of the Board of Foreign Missions. It was decided to 
effect this change ; a constitution was adopted and a committee 
was appointed to nominate officers under its provisions. Mrs. 
Mary H. Severance, who had so acceptably filled the office of 
President of the existing Society, declined to continue in office, 
much to the regret of its members. The officers were as follows: 
President, Mrs. E. H. Huntington ; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. J. N. 
McGiffert and Mrs. Eleroy Curtis ; Corresponding Secretary, 
Mrs. H. G. Hammond ; Recording Secretary, Miss Mary Otis ; 
Treasurer, Mrs. A. H. Potter. 

The Society's first work was the support of Miss Mary 
P. Dascomb, in Paulo, Brazil, and an appropriation of $500 for 
missionary work in Mexico City. It was also voted to assume 
the support of a missionary to Ningpo, China, whenever one 
should offer. During the first year Mrs. Hammond resigned her 
office as Corresponding Secretar}^, and Miss Julia Haskell was 
elected to the office, which position she has filled to the present 
time. Miss Otis was succeeded by Mrs. H. S. Adams, as Record- 
ing Secretary, which office she filled until 1883, when her re- 
moval from the city compelled her to resign. 

During the earlier years of the Society, quarterly meetings 
were held in connection with the meetings of Presbytery. The 
first occurred December 10, 1873, Elyria. The Elyria Con- 
gregational Church was then connected with the Cleveland 
Presbytery, and much strength was given to the mission work by 
such experienced workers as Mrs. E. DeWitt and Mrs. Heman Ely. 
In order to bring the fiscal year of the Society into harmony with 
that of the Board of Foreign Missions, it was decided to hold the 
first annual meeting in April, 1874, at the Westminster Church. 
Twenty-one societies reported at that meeting. The minutes 
record that Miss Closson of Turkey addressed the meeting ; that 
Mrs. S. L. Severance gave a paper on Brazil, and Miss Metcalf of 
Hudson, Mrs. McGiffert of Ashtabula, Mrs. DeWitt of Elyria, 



34

and Mrs. Cutler of Hudson, followed with addresses. In the 
evening, at the popular meeting held in connection with the 
PresbN'tery, Mrs. Dr. Haydn gave a paper on Mexico, followed 
by one from Mrs. McGiffert on China. 

In May of that year, Miss Sellers was accepted as the mis- 
sionary of the Cleveland Presbyterial Society, and her outfit pre- 
pared by the different auxiliaries. In the autumn she went to 
Ningpo, China, but onl}^ for a short time was she permitted to 
work. Her health failed, and in 1876 she returned to America. 
Miss Dascomb, too, was compelled to return home to care for her 
parents, who were in infirm health. Miss Belle Marsh offered 
herself about this time, and the Society gladly adopted her as its 
missionary in Yokohama, Japan. Three years later Miss Marsh 
became the wife of a Baptist missionary and withdrew from the 
Presbyterian Board in 1878. Miss Fullerton went to Wood- 
stock, India, as teacher of missionary children and those of 
Eurasian parentage. The Cleveland Presbyterial Society assumed 
her support, which was continued until her return home in 1888 
to care for her aged mother. Miss Bessie Nelson, daughter of Dr. 
Nelson, editor of "Our Church at Home and Abroad," was 
adopted by the Society in 1880. and soon after going to S3Tia 
she became the wife of Rev. W. K. Eddy of Sidon, where she is 
still teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ through the influence of 
her home life, as wife and mother. 

During this year four scholarships were assumed in Brazil, 
at ^100 each, and Miss Annie Johnson of Cleveland was accepted 
by the Society as its missionary. She became the wife of Rev. 
J. H. Eaughlin, and went to China, but her brief, beautiful life 
soon closed, and in October, 1884, she was called to her heavenly 
reward, leaving the Society with only Mrs. Eddy as its mission- 
ary for several years, while it continued to pa}^ to the general fund 
of the Board the larger part of its receipts. School work in Canton, 
under Miss Hattie Noyes, has always been sustained, besides the 
support of Bible-readers, schools, teachers and scholarships, in 
almost every country where Presb3'terian missions have been 
established. 

The year 1880 will always be remembered for the grand 
thank-offering, with which the Cleveland Presbyterial Society 
went in its own chartered car to Cincinnati to the decennial

meeting of the parent Society, with ^1,200 as its thank-offering, 
over and above its usual gifts, making the receipts for the year, 
^3,595- 

For thirteen years meetings of the Society were held 
quarterly. In 1885 it was decided to hold annual and semi- 
annual meetings only : the annual meeting to be held in 
Cleveland in April of each year ; the semi-annual meeting in 
October in different parts of the Presbytery, upon invitation of 
.the various auxiliaries. During the autumn of 1893, Mrs. Mary 
Schauffier I^abaree went from Cleveland, where her father, Dr. 
Schauffler, resides, to Oroomiah, Persia, and to the great joy of 
the Cleveland Presbyterial Society, Mrs. lyabaree became its 
missionary. Her bright, interesting letters awaken much interest 
in her personally, and make her support a privilege to be 
coveted. Of the Mission Bands under the care of this Society, 
perhaps the oldest is the "Band of Youthful Helpers" in the 
North Church, organized by the venerable Mrs. Hoisington, even 
before this Presbyterial Society existed. The present number of 
Mission Bands is fourteen, but seventeen Christian Endeavor 
Societies give their missionary offerings through this Society. 
These societies, with a membership of over 900, have largely 
taken the place of the former Young Peoples' Societies and the 
Mission Bands, There are now twenty-eight auxiliary societies 
connected with this Presbyterial Society, and in the time of its 
existence this organization contributed more than $70,000 to the 
work of Foreign Missions. 

Among the honored women who have shared the official 
responsibility of the Society in former years, are the names of 
Mrs. Eleroy Curtis, Mrs. E. DeWitt, Mrs. Arthur Mitchell, Mrs. 
C. T. Chester, Miss Mary Otis, Miss Alice Crosby, Mrs. E- H. 
Adams, Miss Mary Evans, Miss Anna Wolcott, Mrs. John Ewart, 
Mrs. J. C. Elliott, Mrs. A. H. Potter, Mrs. A. C. Miller and 
Mrs. D. O. Mears. Some have fallen asleep and rest from their 
labors, while others are still active in mission work in other 
places. Mrs. A. H. Potter, the Society's first and onh^ Treasurer, 
was suddenly called to her reward on the morning of January i, 
1894, after twenty-one years of faithful service. Mrs. C. W. 
Monroe was appointed to the office the following April. Mrs. A. 
C. Miller, who succeeded Mrs. Adams as Recording Secretary in 



woman's pkesbyterial societies. 



37 



1883, continued in that office until 1888, when her removal from 
the city caused her to resign. Mrs. Edward 1^. Day was made 
her successor, and continues to fill the position. In October, 
1885, Mrs K.. H. Huntington, who had served as President 
twenty-two years, resigned, and Mrs. J. D. Chambers was 
elected to that office. The present officers are as follows : 

President, Mrs. J. D. Chambers ; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. E. 
H. Huntington, Mrs. J. N. McGiffert, Mrs. E. C. Higbee, Mrs. 
D. E. Hickok, Mrs J. D. Williamson, Mrs. A. T. Young, 
Mrs. Proctor Thayer, Mrs. C. E. Zorbaugh ; Recording 
Secretary, Mrs. E. L. Day ; Corresponding Secretary and Secre- 
tary of Missionary Eiterature, Miss Julia Haskell ; Secretary of 
Young Peoples' Societies and Mission Bands, Mrs. C C. Young ;

By Mrs. A. N. Elliott, Corresponding Secretary. 

IN response to an invitation from Rev. J. N. McGiffert. D.D., 
chairman of the Presbyterial Committee on Home Missions, a 
number of ladies, representing several churches, met in the 
parlors of the Kuclid Avenue Presbyterian Church, on April lo, 
1 88 1, and organized a Woman's Presbyterial Home Missionary 
Society. The officers elected were : President, Mrs. Carroll 
Cutler; Vice-President, Mrs. Mary Williamson, and Mrs. D L. 
Hickok ; Recording Secretary, Miss Agnes McGiffert, and after- 
wards Miss Iv Spencer consented to act as Treasurer. 

The first annual meeting of this society was held in the 
Case Avenue Presbyterian Church. Nine of the twentj^-eight 
churches in the Presbytery were represented, ordy two of these, 
Ashtabula and Hudson, being out of the city. The membership 
was one hundred and eighty-five, and the amount of monej^ 
raised during the year was $1,307. Great help and inspiration 
were gained during the first year from an address by Mrs. Haines, 
Secretary of the Executive Committee, and an animated report, 
by Mrs Elliott of Seville, of the Woman's meeting held in con- 
nection with the General Assembly meeting at Springfield. 

It has been said by those qualified to know, that the forma- 
tion of this Presbyterial Society, and its success are due to its 
first Synodical Committee, Mrs. E. R. Perkins, Mrs. Carroll Cut-

ler, Mrs. D. L. Hickok, and the additional member the next 
year, Mrs. Dr. Spining. At the second annual meeting of the 
Society, held in the Miles Park Church, there was greatly in- 
creased interest and attendance. Eighteen churches reported, 
and a full complement of officers was secured. A decided impulse 
was given the Society during this year, by eloquent appeals from 
such men as Dr. Roberts, Dr. McMillan and Rev. Sheldon Jack- 
son, and the object of Home Missions took more distinct shape, 
in the prayers and interest of the women of the Cleveland Pres- 
bytery. The work has steadily grown, and as one officer after 
another was called to lay her armor by, another was found to 
gird it on, for thus doeth the Lord his work. 

During these 3'ears we have had serve us, as Presidents, such 
honored women as Mrs. Carroll Cutler, Miss L- T. Guilford, 
Mrs. C. P. Treat, Mrs. A. C. Miller, and Mrs. E. C. Higbee; as

The increase in membership and in offerings has been most 
marked. In the year ending- April, 1895, 1474 members were 
reported, and money raised, ^4,433. This Society has supported 
many scholarships, paid the salaries of numerous teachers, and 
assisted in the building and furnishing of most of the prominent 
school buildings lately built on what we term our Home Mission 
field. 

This is but a brief record of the Home Mission work and 
workers of the Cleveland Presbytery. There is a record of their 
noblest deeds, and purest motives which we are sure will add 
many bright gerris to their crowns when they gather in the home 
above, as "children of the King." 

"And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive 
a crown of glory that fadeth not away."

TH E Xorth Springfield 
Presbyterian Church was 
organized in 1809. and is one of 
the oldest churches upon the 
Reserve. Three houses of wor- 
ship have served the church : 
the first two were log struc- 
tures, the third and present 
church is a frame building, 
and was erected in 1S2S. Rev. 
Joshua Beer, who moderated 
^■^/ the meeting when the organ- 

ization was eft'ected, served 
the church until 181 5. From 
that time until 1S29 there 
were stated supplies, but at 
an exceptionally long pastorate began, 
a recent graduate of Princeton Seminary, 
came as a home missionary to this field in August, 1829. He 
was ordained and installed pastor of the church June 16, 1830, 
and served until April 25, 1S66, when he resigned at his own re- 
quest. Mr. Hughes was of ministerial stock. His father was 
the first ordained and settled minister 
north of the Ohio river, and two of his 
uncles were clergymen Three of his 
brothers were ministers, and his sister 
married a minister. Mr Hughes had a 
son who died at the close of his Semi- 
nary course, and three of his nephews 
are ministers. He was known in the 
region where he spent all the years of his 
mini.sterial service as "Father Hughes " 
After his resignation he moved to Tall-

tion of Father Hughes thirteen ministers have labored in this 
field. The longest pastorates were those of Rev. J. E. Vance, 
1876 to 1880, and Rev. H. M. Walker, 1881 to 1888. The pres- 
ent pastor, Rev. K. K. Davis, is doing good work in this old 
church. Since the beginning of his labors, January 7, 1895, 
there have been large additions, and the outlook is very hopeful. 

Rome Church. 




Rev. Horace Palmer 



Several years prior to 1808 
the early Christians at Rome, 
without a pastor, conducted re- 
ligious services. These services 
were held until the war of 1812. 
In 1816 there was a revival, but 
the converts united with the Con- 
gregational Church at Austin- 
burgh. May 20, 1 819, the First 
Congregational Church, at Rome, 
was organized by Rev. Giles H. 
Cowles, with twelve members. 
The church joined the Grand 
River Presbytery. Before 1826 
there are no records, but the 
only pastor known as preaching 
between the date of organization and that date was Rev. Mr. 
Leslie. The pastorates of this church have been comparatively 
short, and the names of those who have served the church are: 
Revs. Mr. Ivcslie, Randolph Stone, Giles Cowles, R. W. Childs, 
Charles Danforth, H. Blodgett, Mr. Spier, Urban Palmer, F. H. 
Deming, Alanson Sanders, Franklin Arnold, William Millikin, 
Franklin McGinnis, Henry Farwell, William Kain, D. M. 
Hazlett, A. B. Maxwell, and Artemas Williams. The present 
pastor. Rev. Horace Palmer, began his work October i, 1893, 
and twenty-one members have been added to the church during 
his two years of service. 

Ashtabula Church, 

The First Presbyterian Church, of Ashtabula, was organized 
December 6, 1821, by the Rev. Joseph Badger, of the Connecti-

cut Missionary Society, with a membership of seven. Rev. Perry 
Pratt was the minister at the time, and continued in service until 
1826. From that time until 1847 the church] was served by a 
succession of stated supplies for periods of from one to four years. 
In 1847 Rev. Augustus Pomeroy was installed as the first pastor, 
and remained until 1852. Rev. 
J. M. Gillett was pastor from 
1853 to 1865. The present pas- 
tor, Rev. Joseph N. McGiffert, 
D.D., was installed in 1866, and . -I"' 

is in his thirtieth year of service. %! 
The early organization of the ^ ? 

church was Congregational, un- 
der the care of the Presbytery of 
Grand River. In 1850 the 
Presbyterian order and discipline 
were adopted, and elders selected 
and ordained. The first church 
edifice was dedicated in June, 
1836. In October, 1892, the 
present beautiful and com mod-

ious edifice was dedicated. The number of members at present is 
409. The Sunday School numbers about 350, and the Y. P. S. 
C. E. 100. The organization of the church consists of nine rul- 
ing elders, one of these, J. P. Robertson, Esq., having held the 
office since the adoption of the Presbyterian order, forty-five years 
ago, and of two deacons and six lady assistants. The Ashta- 
bula church is the largest of our "country churches," 
and Dr. McGiffert is the honored Nestor of the Cleveland 
Presbytery. 

Guilford Church* 

The church of Guilford, at 
Seville, was organized June 25, 
1 83 1, with thirteen members. 
In 1838 seven members with- 
drew, and with some others 
formed a Congregational church. 
In 1853 the Presbyterian Church 
of LaFayette was organized with 
members exclusively from the 
Guilford Church. Rev. Varnum 
Noyes was the first pastor of the 
latter church. Commencing his 
labors September, 1831, he was 
installed September, 1836, and 
continued pastor until May, 
1849. An effort was then made 

to unite the Presbyterian and Congregational churches. Rev. 
Charles C. Danforth supplied the pulpit, but the effort was not 
successful, and the former pastor, Mr. Noyes, was recalled to the 
Presbyterian church in 1852, and continued his labors until 1871. 
Thus Mr. Noyes preached thirty-seven years in this church, the 
same term of service as that of Mr. Hughes in the North Spring- 
field church. Mr. Noyes died April 20. 1888. The Guilford 
Church was supplied by Rev. J. C. Elliott from 1871 to 1885. 
Rev. Wm. E- Notestein was installed pastor October 21, 1886, 
which relationship was dissolved April 13, 1892. The church 
was then supplied until the present pastor, Rev. Virgil G. 
Sheeley, was installed Nov. 27, 1894.

Noyes, Miss Harriet Noyes and Mrs. 
Martha Noyes Kerr, to Canton, China; 
Mrs. Mary Sloaks Dunlap to Bankok, 
Siam. The church has built two houses 
of worship, the first in 1838, and the 
second in 1857. "^^^ membership has 
generally been small, as a large propor- 
tion of the young people seek business 
in other places, where many of them are 
filling places of usefulness in the churches. The membership for 
the last ten years has varied from ninety-seven to 147. 

Orwell Church, 

The Orwell Presbyterian Church was an outgrowth of a 
Congregational church changing to the former polity November 
19, 1 83 1. The church at that time had eleven members. In 
1833 this church adopted the following resolution, viz: "That 
we will receive no one into this church unless he agrees to 
abstain from drinking, manufacturing and vending ardent spirits, 
excepting for medicine." The 
first pastor was Rev. Charles 
Danforth, who began his work 
in 1835. 'I'he first building was 
commenced in 1840, and finished 
in 1 84 1. From that time until 
1874 iiii^^ ministers served the 
congregation: Revs. Mr. Palmer, 
B. Y. Messenger, C. J. Pitkins, 
Lewis Gadden, Amos Dressor, 
Franklin Arnold, Wm. Millikin, 
Franklin Maginnis and E. '''^^^^^ 
Latimer. In 1876 there was 
a revival in the churches of 

Orwell that added largely to Rev. John E. Carroll.

them, and in the following year, 1877, the Presbyterian Church 
was rebuilt and re-dedicated. Seven ministers have served the 
church since that time until the present pastor, Rev. J. E- Carroll, 
was chosen in 1894: Revs. H. King, Wm. T. Richardson, J. E. 
Vance, Alexander Ross, Sherman D. Taylor, M. Knowles, and H. 
P. Hamilton. The present membership of the church is seventy- 
five. With a Sunday School of 150 pupils, and a Christian En- 
deavor Society of 50 members, this church has a prosperous outlook. 

First Churchy of Akron. 

The First Presbyterian 
Church, of Akron, was organ- . 
ized December 15, 1831, with 
twenty-six charter members. 
The village was then called Mid- 
dlebury. Rev. Benson C. Bald- 
win was the first pastor, and 

Woolsey Wells and Richard y"/^* 
Chapman were the first elders. ^ ^ * 

Mr. Baldwin served the church 
seven years. Rev. Mr. Alanson 
and Rev. H. A. Sackett sup- ^

in 1 84 1 Rev. James Shaw was 
installed as pastor. Remarkable 

revivals marked his ministry. „ ^ , , ,

Rev. Eleroy Curtis became pastor. Prior to this time an effort 
had been made to sever connection with the Portage Presbytery, 
and this failing, a number of members seceded and formed a 
Congregational church. This weakened the mother church. 
In 1854 Mr. Curtis closed his labors. During the next four years 
the church had supplies. In 1859 the Presbyterian and Congre- 
gational churches were united under a plan of union, and Rev. 
Wm. Dempsey served the union church four years. Rev. George 
C. Hicks then supplied two years, and Rev. John G. Hall for 
three years, when Rev. Mr. Avery took charge from 1 871 to 1874, 
when the church returned to the Presbytery. Messrs. A. L. 
Cotter, Henry Hart, and John K. Robinson were elected elders,

and Rev. C. E. Barnes became pastor in 1874, serving three 
years. Mr. Barnes was succeeded by Rev. J. H. Jones, who 
served about three years. Then followed the five-year pastorate 
of Rev. Dwight ly. Chapin, during which time the present house 
of worship was built. Rev. E. Layport, the present pastor, 
began his labors in May, 1889, and in 1890 the parsonage was 
built. The present membership of the church is 150. The 
Sunday School numbers 185 pupils, and there are Junior and 
Senior Christian Endeavor Societies. 

Streetsboro Church, 

This church was organized January 14, 1833, by Rev. 
Beriah Green. It was a Congregational church, under the care 
of the Portage Presbytery. Thirty united with the church at its 
formation, presenting letters from Congregational churches 
in the East, and from the Presbyterian Church at North Spring- 
field, Summit County. The two elements did not always work 
in harmony, nevertheless the work prospered. Worship was 
conducted in a school house until the church building was dedi- 
cated, June 29, 1837. In 1870 the building was rebuilt and 
re-dedicated. Feb. 15, 1874, Rev. H. H. Wells, D.D., com- 
menced special meetings, which added a large number to the 
church, and February 28, 1874, a meeting was called to adopt 
the Presbyterian form of government. The church has had but 
one installed pastor. Rev. Samuel Lee, 1840 to 1849. Many 
ministers have supplied the pulpit, but through all the successes 
and failures the church has never been closed, except for repairs 
or for union services. 

Willoug^hby Church* 

This church was organized April 15, 1833, as the First 
Presbyterian Church of Chagrin, afterwards Willoughby, with 
nine members. In the sixty-three years of its existence it has 
had twenty-one ministers, only three of whom were installed. 
At the beginning the church was received into the Cleveland 
Presbytery, but in 1837 was made a Congregational church. 
Under the pastorate of Rev. H. S. Clark (1840 to 1846) the 
church was again made Presbyterian, with the exception that 
the elders were elected for three years instead of for life. In 
July, 1848, the church again changed to the " First Congrega-

tional Church of Willoughby," although it remained in connec- 
tion with the Presbytery, In 1870 the church adopted the | 
Presbyterian form of government, and has since remained in the | 
Cleveland Presbytery. On August 5, 1880, Rev. Arthur J. | 
Waugh came and served the church ten years. During this 
period of service the old edifice was supplanted by a new church , 
building costing 1 10,000. Mr. Waugh resigned to accept a call 1 
to the Willson Avenue Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, and i 
after a three-years supply of the church by Rev. F. G. Weeks, \ 
the present minister, Rev. Selden C. Dickinson, a Congre- j 
gationalist, began his labors. The whole number received into | 
membership during the existence of this church is 549, the pres- 1 
ent membership being over 100. Two missionaries have gone forth j 
from this church, Miss I^aura Emily Carpenter going to China, i 
and Miss Eliza D. Everett to Syria, where she now labors. Miss j 
Carpenter returned to this country, and died about 186 1 . The ! 
Missionary Societies are flourishing. The church has a good ] 
parsonage, and the whole property, worth over ^15,000, is free ■ 
from debt. I

to form a church. Rev. Caleb

delegated so to act by the 



Presbytery of Portage, but it 
was left to the people whether 
they would form a Presbyterian 
or a Congregational church. It

building. In 1853 this house was enlarged to its present pro- 
portions, the steeple built, and the bell placed. The record of 
that time reads: "Old Priest Seward," who sensed the church for 
sixteen 3'ears, the longest pastorate it ever had, "preached for the 
first time in our meeting house enlarged and repaired." In 
pastoral service the experience of the church has been that of 
short duration. In the early days professors from the Western 
Reserve College often supplied the pulpit. There have been the 
following pastors and stated supplies: Revs. Calvin Porter. J. 
Morton. E. Ward, John Seward, D. W. Sharts, Wm. C. Turner, 



Solon Church* 




Rev. William V. Chapin. 




The Solon Presbyterian 
Church was organized April 24, 
1834 It was first organized on 
the independent plan, but in 
1840, "feeling the need of the 
sympathy and help from with- 
out, more than it could secure 
under a purely Congregational 
polity,'' the church joined the 
Cleveland Presbyter}', under the 
old plan of union. This relation 
was sustained until 1871 when, 
on August 27, the church was 
fully organized on the Presbj^- 
terian plan. A 3'ear after 
organization a house of worship 
was erected, a very plain, modest

Rev. W. V. Chapin, began his labors in August, 1893, and the 
field has been richly blessed. Over 100 members have been 
added to the membership, which had been forty-five, and almost 
all the members thus received have come upon confession of 
their faith. For the first time in its history the church has be- 
come self-supporting. There is a good C. E. Society, and the 
present building may be replaced by a new one. 

Parma Church* 

November 7, 1835, a meet- 
ing was called to organize a lit- 
tle band of Christians into a 
church. Dr. S. C. Aiken, of 
the First Church, of Cleveland, 
presided. The Confession of 
Faith and Covenant recom- 
mended by the Cleveland Presby- 
tery, were adopted. It was ex- 
pected that the church would be 
Presbyterian, but the majority 
having been connected with Con- 
gregational churches, Dr. Aiken 
refused to urge them to do what 
they did not at heart wish to do, 
' ' These brethren, ' ' said he ' ' wish 
to organize a Congregational 

church, and Congregational it shall be." Eleven persons joined 
this church by letter, and one upon confession of his faith. 
Services were conducted in a school-house until a "meeting- 
house " was constructed. It was a plain frame building, and 
was ready for use in 1841. There have been twenty-five different 
periods of supply in the pulpit of this small church, down to the 
present supply, Rev. Julius Spencer, who began his labors 
October i, 1892. There have never been over sixty members 
connected with this church at any one time. After the special 
meetings conducted by Rev. H. H. Wells, D.D., the church took 
the full form of Presbyterian government, April 3, 1874.

• Independence Church* 

This church was organized June 24, 1837, by missionaries 
under the employ of the Connecticut Missionary Society, with 
but six charter members. For nearly twenty years the church 
had no pastor, but was supplied by different missionaries until 
the settlement of Rev. B. F. Sharp, in October, 1854. Mr. Sharp 
is the only pastor the church has ever had. In January, 1855, 
measures were instituted for the erection of the present house of 
worship, services having been previously held in a log school- 
house, and in the Town Hall. The present stone church building 
was completed at a cost of $2,594. This building was paid for 
under the pastorate of Mr. Sharp, and has been the home of the 
congregation ever since. This church has a very limited field of 
work. The population has greatly changed from that of pioneer 
days, and Lutheran and Roman Catholic families have come into 
the place with their churches, but preaching services are main- 
tained in the old Presbyterian church, conducted for the most part 
by students from Oberlin Theological Seminary. 

Kmgfsville Church* 

This church was organized in 1844, from the remnanis of a 
previously existing Congregational church. At first the govern- 
ment was a compromise between that of the Congregational and 
Presbyterian polity, in order to please the old members of the 
former church. The church has gradually merged into the 
Presbyterian form, with a few exceptions that still cling to it as 
inherited rights. The first pastor and reorganizer of the church 
was Rev. C. E. Williams, who served eight years. There have 
been ten pastors and stated supplies since. Rev- H, W. Palmer, 
the second pastor, served the church eighteen years. Rev. D. L- 
Hickok served eight years. The other terms of service were 
short. There have been added to the church, since its organiza- 
tion, 455 members. The present membership is eighty, and Rev. 
A. H. Caughey, a member of Erie Presbytery, is the stated 
supply. 

Milton Church, Rittman, O* 

This church was organized September 7, 1878, with seven 
members. The principal mover in the act was Rev. J. C.

Elliott, pastor of the Guilford Church, at Seville, but living with 
his family at Rittraan. The first church building was erected in 
1880 at a cost of $2,700, of which $Soo came from the Board of 
Church Erection. This building was burned in the winter of 
1885, without any insurance, but in the following summer a new^ 
church was erected at a cost of $2,880. The church grew until 
its membership reached fifty-two in 1887, and then it declined 
until it reached twenty in 1892. It was self-supporting the first 
ten years, but the financial strain of building two edifices crippled 
the congregation. Rev. Mr. Elliott resigned in April, 1892. 
Since that time the pulpit has been supplied by pastors of 
neighboring churches at Doylestown and Seville, and for the 
past two years Rev. V. G. Sheeley, pastor of the Guilford Church, 
has served the congregation, the Presbytery helping to bear the 
expense of maintaining service. 



New Lyme Church, 



The Presbyterian Church of 
New Lyme was organized Oc- 
tober 16, 1887, with nineteen 
members. Since that time over 
ICQ have been added to the roll. 
A brick church has been built, 
with all modern conveniences, at 
a cost of ^5,000, and dedicated 
September 2, 1890. Near this 
church is the New Lyme Insti- 
tute, one of the best high schools 
in Northern Ohio. Professor 
Tuckerman is president of the 
school, and most of the facul- 
ty and some of the students are 
members of this church. The 
Rev. S. D. Taylor, now in his 
eighty- second year, and a veteran in the work, has been the 
successful acting pastor of this young organization from the 
beginning.

Central Church, Akron* 




Rev. John C. Elliott. 



At the spring meeting of 
Presbytery, 1891, a committee 
was appointed to organize the 
Central Presbyterian Church, of 
Akron. The only Presbyterian 
church in Akron up to this time 
was the old Middlebury church, 
now in the sixth ward of the 
city. It seemed wise in a rapid- 
ly growing city of 30,000 people, 
to thus organize a Presbyterian 
church in the more central por- 
tion of the city, providing a field 
that needed a church could be 
found. Such a field was dis- 
covered, but in it there was no 



place suitable for worship. Finally, October 15, 1891, a school 
house for which the city had no longer any need, was purchased 
by Rev. E Lay port, pastor of the First Church, of Akron, and 
this was held for the Presbyterian Church. This small building 
was furnished with chairs. The Board of Publication contrib- 
uted liberally Sunday-school books, lesson helps, and Bibles. 
The Presbyterian Church at Columbus Grove, O., donated a pul- 
pit, and the floor was covered with matting from the abandoned 
church at LaFayette. The house was opened for worship the 
last Sunday in November, 1891, Rev. E. Eayport preaching the 
sermon, and Rev. J. C. Elliott making some remarks. Services 
were held each Sunday afternoon by Mr. Layport, assisted by 
Revs. Elliott, Notestein and Ludlow. A week of special meet- 
ings was observed in November, conducted mostly by Rev. 
Arthur C. Ludlow, of Cleveland. The organization of the church 
was effected March 13, 1892. Mr. J. H. Sample, formerly elder 
in the church at Granville, O., and Mr. W. E. Dempsey, formerl}^ 
elder in the church at Akron, were installed as elders, and Dr. J. 
H. Seiler, W. C. Dague and J. H. Sample, were elected trustees. 
The Rev. J. C. Elliott was called in April, 1892, but was not in- 
stalled until the completion of the new Chapel, September 16,

1895. The present church propert)' is worth ^7,000, and there is 
good prospect of its soon being cleared of the debt, which, at the 
present is a little over $1,000. The church is located on State 
street, between Main and High, and has a field for great future 
usefulness. 

Wickliffc Church* 

The Wicklifie Presbyterian Church is an outgrowth of a 
Union church, which had existed ten years. Fifteen members 
desiring a closer denominational relation, decided to form a 
Presbyterian church. At an extra meeting of the Presbytery, 
called in August, 1893, Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D., Rev. Wm. 
Knight, and Elder E. R. Perkins, were delegated to form a 
church. This was done September 3, 1893. Rev. R. W. 
McLaughlin served the church one year. Rev. F. G. Blanchard 
supplied it six months, during which time sixteen members were 
added. October 31, 1895, Rev. L. E. Lewis, of Chagrin Falls, 
was called, preaching his first sermon November 24, 1895. 
Previous to his coming plans had been made for a new church, 
and the building, a brick structure with stone trimmings, is now 
completed. The auditorium seats over 300, with a Sunday- 
school room adjoining seating over 200. The . building is 
thoroughly modern, costing over $7,000, and is almost free of 
debt.

east Cle^jeland Churcb. 

¥ 

IN 1804, five families from Washington, Pennsylvania, founded 
their homes in the heart of an almost unbroken forest, east of 
the little settlement of Cleveland. A rough path, the beginning 
of Euclid Avenue, wandered tortuoush' through the forest. 
These five families brought with them their Presbyterian faith 
and practices, and, as religious privileges were to them as nec- 
essary as their homes, we find them, three years after their 
arrival, responding to the suggestion, and uniting with the 
efforts of earlier settlers in forming a church. 

It was on the 27th of August, 1S07, that the "Church of Christ 
in Euclid," was organized. The missionary in charge was Rev.

Wm. Wick, and tradition says that the gathering place was the 
barn of Andrew Mcllrath. Another tradition has it that the 
organization was formed at the house of Nathaniel Doan, at 
Doan's Corners, at that time a more central place, the name of 
Mr. Doan standing first on the roll of the church. 

The church was first organized on the "Plan of Union," but 
the bent toward Presbyterianism was marked, and March 15, 1810, 
the church placed itself under the care of the Hartford Presbytery. 
In the same year a log church was erected on the eastern corner 
of the adjoining cemetery, on land obtained from Thomas 
Mcllrath, John Shaw, and Nehemiah Dille. Even the rude 
house built of split logs could not be finished until the arrival, in 
181 1, of two settlers whose knowledge of carpentry enabled them 
to make plain benches and a pulpit. 



make it such in fact. The first interment in the Cemetery, at a 
corner of which the old church was built, was that of Mrs. Barr, 
wife of the first pastor, and this was in 181 2. During the whole 
existence of the log church, it is said to have been the only 
church building upon the Western Reserve. In 1816 the log 
church was replaced by a frame structure, which also antedated 
any church building in the county. Again the people built out 
of their poverty with the foresight that always characterized their

enterprises. They planned for the future, and the frame church 
on the hill was, for its time, as imposing as the present new 
structure. Its steeple was high, and could be seen for miles 
around. It was the counterpart of the New England meeting 
house, a type found in any Puritan village. 

At first this church was used without windows or pulpit, and 
the first meeting, which was not of formal dedication, was very 
unique and impressive. The legend is that there arose a terrible 
thunderstorm. The pastor, calling the frightened congregation 
to the center of the church, while the lightning rent the air and 
the crashing trees fell in the forest outside, led them in prayer for 
protection from the dangers which surrounded them. The wdnd 
swept through the empty window spaces, and his voice could not 
be heard on account of the furious noise of the storm, but the 
silent prayer-meeting, where death seemed so near, survived in 
the memories of those present as the most awe-inspiring service 
they had ever known. 

In 1 8 19 and 1820 the work on the church was resumed and 
completed. Pews took the place of planks laid across log sup- 
ports, window sills and glass filled the spaces left empt}^ and a 
fine pulpit graced the front. Much comfort and refinement were 
thus added, but through many succeeding years the old church 
was unwarmed in winter, and, as the congregation came on horse- 
back or in rude carts to attend morning, afternoon and evening 
services on a Sunday, they came equipped with foot-stoves and 
hand-warmers, and the minister preached muffled to the chin to 
protect himself from the cold. With the era of stoves and other 
comforts, changes were made to keep pace with the march 
of improvements. The steeple of the church was lowered and 
the galleries were removed. The galleries had been erected on 
three sides of the building, and the pulpit had been lifted high 
above the heads of the people. Now the church was converted, 
by the introduction of a new floor, into a two-story building, the 
upper floor containing the audience, and the basement the 
prayer-meeting rooms. The high pulpit was replaced b\' a low 
desk. This renovated edifice remained the house of worship 
until the present fine stone church was erected and dedicated. 

The new work was begun in 1893. The Sunday-school 
building was dedicated and occupied by the church Februar}^

The first pastor of the East Cleveland Church, Rev. Thomas 
Barr, served from 18 10 to 1820. Rev. Stephen Peet served as 
pastor from 1826 to 1833. Rev. S. E. Scott and Rev. E. Adams 
were stated supplies from 1834 to 1836. The third pastor was 
Rev. H. Blodgett, from 1837 to 1843. The church then had three 
stated supplies, Revs. E. N. Nichols, B. S. J. Page, and Wm. 
H. Beecher, who served from 1843 to 1849. The fourth regular 
pastor was Rev. Jonathan Bigelow, from 1850 to 1854. From 
1854 to 1857 the church had three stated supplies, Revs. Andrew 
Sharp, B. S. J. Page, and Hiram Bingham. The fifth pastor, Rev. 
Franklin Maginnis, officiated from 1858 to 1867. Rev. R. H. 
Leonard supplied the pulpit from 1867 to 1872. The sixth pastor

was Rev. H. P. Barnes, who served from 1872 to 1876. From 
1877 to 1879 Rev. T. S. Scott supplied the church, and 
the seventh pastor was Rev. R. D. Scott, whose term of service 
was from 1879 to 1882. The present pastor, Rev. D. L. Hickok, 
was installed in 1882, and has served faithfully unto the present 
time. Under his guidance the old church has been transformed 
into what is destined to be a strong city church, and that in the 
near future.

First Presbyterian, or Old Stone Church. 



Ristorv of the first Presbyterian, or Old Stone Cbnrcb. 

¥ 

THE First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, was the out- 
growth of a Union Sunday-school, held in a primitive log 
court house, on what is now the Public Square. The court 
house itself was made of hewn logs, boarded outside, and painted 
red. Cleveland was then a straggling village of 150 inhabitants. 



68 HISTORY OF CI.EVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 

The school, opened in June, 1819 — Mr. Elisha Taylor, superin- 
tendent, and Mr. Moses White, a leading Baptist, secretary — 
issued Tuesday, September 19, 1820, into the organization of the 
First Presbyterian Church. It was due to Mr. Taylor, chiefly, 
that the little band of fourteen, six upon confession of faith, were 
led to "adopt the Presbyterian doctrine and discipline." The 
names of the charter members are thus chronicled in the records 
of that time: Elisha Taylor and Ann, his wife ; T. J. Hamlin, 
P. B. Andrews, Sophia L- Perry, widow; Bertha Johnson, widow; 
Sophia Walworth, Mrs. Mabel How, Henry Baird and Ann, his 
wife; Rebecca Carter, widow, Juliana Eong, Isabella Williamson, 
Miss Harriet How, Minerva Merwin. 

At this time Cleveland was a very unpretentious village, 
located in an allotment a mile square, mostly uncleared, but ex- 
ceedingly eligible as a site for residences. In 1820 the first stage 
coach arrived from the East, and gave the citizens public com- 
munication with the outside world. Two years later the first 
steamer plowed the waters of Eake Erie, increasing the 
facilities for traffic and travel. At that time there was a little 
hamlet at Doan's Corners, and another at Newburgh. Between, 
rose primitive forests, where wolves and bears sometimes con- 
tested the right of possession. 

For thirteen years, until the basement of the first "Old 
Stone Church " was ready for occupancy, the little band of believ- 
ers had no fixed habitation. For two years they met in the 
court house, but sometimes in the school house on St. Clair 
street; then in the academy, also on St. Clair street; and finally 
in the third story of Dr. Long's building, now embraced in the 
American House. The congregation was still small and poor, and 
the building of a church was a formidable undertaking. But the 
society having been incorporated in 1827, plans were adopted, 
and the building commenced on the present site in 1832, was dedi- 
cated February 26, 1834. The number of communicants at this 
time was ninety- four. Up to this time there had been no settled 
ministry, and the supplies had been rather transient than stated. 
The ministers who supplied were as follows: Rev. Randolph 
Stone, 1820-182T; Rev. Wm. McLean, 1822; Rev. S. J. Brad- 
street, 1 823- 1 830; Rev. John Sessions, 1831, a part; Rev. 
Samuel Hutchings, 1832-1833; Rev. John Keep, 1833-1835. The

Rev. John Keep, the last stated supply, December i8, 1834, 
moderated a meeting on the west side of the river, which resulted 
in the organization of the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, 
and he became its pastor. This church is now the First Congre- 
gational Church, of Cleveland. 

All the stated supplies were devoted and excellent men. In 
1835, the year President Finney began his work at Oberlin, 
Samuel C. Aiken, D. D., of Utica, N. Y., was called to the pastor- 
ate of the First church. He accepted, entered upon his labors 
the 7th of June, and was installed the 24th of November. 

At this time Cleveland was a village of 5,080 inhabitants, 
and the next year, 1836, became an incorporated city. Besides 
Trinity Church, incorporated one year after the Old Stone, the 
Methodists had gained a footing, the Baptists were organized, the 
Roman Catholics had built their first church in 1835 on the flats, 
and the first Bethel Church had been opened on the side hill. 
There were now five denominations represented in the village. 
At Newburgh a church had been organized in 1832, now the 
Miles Park Church, and at Doan's Corners a Presbyterian Church 
was organized in 1843. One woman, it is said, carried it for 
Presbyterianism against forty men, but it did not remain Presby- 
terian. After ten years of independent life this church became 
the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church. Eastward, in Colla- 
mer, there had been a church since 1807. 

Soon after Dr. Aiken settled, as pastor of the First Church, 
the church building was outgrown, and to relieve the pressure a 
colony of "twenty of the best families" went forth in 1836 to 
form a second Presbyterian Church, securing a charter under 
date of April 3, 1837. After a year the enterprise was abandoned, 
and the members returned to their old church home. The finan- 
cial crash of 1837 is thought, for one thing, to have crippled its 
strength. 

A powerful revival in 1840, under the ministry of Rev. J. T. 
Aver3% added to this church about 170 members, and prepared 
the way for a secession from the church of some who had become 
dissatisfied with Dr. Aiken's conservative position on the slavery 
question, to form a Congregational Church. This enterprise was 
wrecked by Second Adventism, the current "perfectionism" of 
the day, and kindred errors. The church edifice of this new

enterprise was sold and the members disbanded, some returning 
to the mother church. 

In June, 1844, the Second Presbyterian Church was organ- 
ized on the old charter of 1837. meeting for the formation 
of this church was held in the basement of the Stone Church, Dr. 
Aiken presiding. Fifty-five letters were granted by the First 
Church to those forming the new organization. 

Six years later, March 25, 1850, as a result, in part at least, 
of the anti-slavery agitation, another church of thirty members 
was formed, known for two years as the Free Presbyterian 
Church, but since then as the Plymouth Congregational Church. 

It was about this time, February, 1851, that the first railroad 
entered Cleveland from Columbus. It was a great event, bring- 
ing to the city as it happened, over Sunday, a great manj^ notable 
men, who listened to Dr. Aiken's commemorative sermon, which 
has become historic. The text was the graphic word picture of 
Nahum: "The chariots rage in the streets, they jostle one against 
another in the broadways; the appearance of them is like torches, 
they run like lightning." 

Three years later, January 25, 1853; owing to the over- 
crowded condition of the Old First, the Euclid Street Presby- 
teiian Church was organized in the spirit of good will, with 
thirteen from the mother church, among whom was the veteran 
Blisha Taylor, one of the founders of the First Church. The 
next step lorward on the sight of the Old First was the erection 
of a new and large church edifice, at a cost of |6o,ooo. It was 
pushed forward with unanimity, and entered with gladness 
August 12, 1855. Within two years, March 7, 1857, this new 
edifice was burned. Instead of weakening, this calamity contri- 
buted to the unity, the pecuniary strength and prosperity of the 
congregation. An insurance of ^30,000 enabled the societ}^ to 
rebuild at once, except galleries and spire, and the new edifice 
was dedicated January 17, 1858. This same 3'ear, August 12, 
Dr. Wm. H. Goodrich became associate pastor with Dr. Aiken. 
Three years later, April, 1861, Dr. Aiken was made pastor 
emeritus, upon an annual stipend of $1,000. During his pasto- 
rate of twenty-three years 880 united with the church. The work 
of Dr. Aiken these words of Dr. Goodrich describe: "There was 
at this time, an unusual disposition toward spurious excitement,

which gave abundant occasion for mischief in the church, 
especially among the newer settlements. The dreams of per- 
fectionism, the vagaries of Millerism, and the premonitory stir 
and struggle of the great anti-slavery and temperance movements 
were engrossing many minds, and throwing unstable men every- 
where off their balance. In such a time Dr. Aiken came to the 
pastorate of the First Church. To his clear and practical 
wisdom, his weight of character, as well as to his unselfish conse- 
cration to the service of Christ, we owe it that this church escaped 
the disorders which rent so many other Christian bodies, and 
held on its way with growing strength and unity." 

Dr. Goodrich's pastorate extended from 1858 to July 11, 
1874, three years at the beginning as associate with Dr. Aiken, 
the last two as senior pastor with Hiram C. Ha^'dn. These two 
years were wholly spent abroad, in the vain hope of restoring 
health. He passed away from earth in Lausanne, Switzerland, 
July II, 1874. Dr. Aiken survived him, but for the most part in 
shattered health, passing away Januar}^ i, 1879. 

The period of Dr. Goodrich's pastorate was one of wonderful 
growth in the cit}^ and in the churches. In 1868 the church 
galleries were constructed and the spire completed, and in 1871, 
under the leadership of Hon. George H. Eh^ a still greater im- 
provement transformed the narrow chapel and parlors into the 
roomier ones on an enlarged site. These rooms were greatl}^ 
enjoyed, but twenty years later they were overshadowed and 
darkened by adjacent buildings, and finalh^ replaced by the pres- 
ent Sunday-school building, constructed under the leadership of 
Superintendent Charles L. Kimball. 

Rev. Hiram C. Haydn was installed associate pastor with Dr. 
Goodrich at the close of August, 1872. It was the last Sabbath 
Dr. Goodrich ever spent with the First Church. The period 
from 1872-80 was marked by no extraordinary changes. It was 
one of healthy growth at home, and in the North Church mission. 

From 1880-84 Dr. Arthur Mitchell was senior pastor. He 
took up the work of Dr. Haydn, laid down for a missionar}' 
secretaryship in New York, and from it at the end of that period, 
went himself, to a similar work at the call of the Presbyterian 
Board of Foreign Missions, in which he served until his death. 
The old church was burned a second time January 5, 1884. This

unsettling event and Dr. Mitchell's ardent and intelligent zeal for 
missions, emphasized the call which was being urged upon him, 
to enter this field. These were years not to be forgotten by 
many who enjoyed his devout and able minisl^y, and were led to 
share his enlarged views of church life and work. He was 
seconded by Rev. Rollo Ogden, who became his son-in-law, and 
later b}^ Rev. J. W. Simpson, now president of Marietta 
College. 

The old church was rebuilt at a cost of $35,000, exclusive of 
memorial windows, and made more attractive than ever. Dr. 
Haydn was recalled to the pastorate, with Rev. Wihon Merle 
Smith, now Dr. Smith, of New York Cit3% as associate pastor. 
The work from this time became collegiate, Calvary Mission hav- 
ing regular preaching services. Rev. Joseph H. Selden, of Erie, 
now of Elgin, 111., succeeded Dr. Smith, and in the autumn of 
1890 Rev. Bert E. Howard, now of Los Angeles, California, was 
called as a second associate pastor, and the Bolton Chapel was 
taken under the wing of the First Church. The breaking up of 
the Collegiate system was by mutual consent, and was ch'efiy due 
to the largeness of the field, and the consequent diffusion of 
pastoral influence. 

Rev. William Knight was then called to the associate pasto- 
rate of the Old Stone Church, with Dr. Haydn, and another de- 
parture was made, which contemplated a more distinct effort for 
the down town population. Mr. Knight was called to Saginaw, 
Mich., after two vears' service. 

During this period, 1884- 1893, the senior pastor. Dr. Haydn, 
was for three years president of the Western Reserve Universit5\ 
To make good the partial withdrawal from pastoral work Rev. 
Giles H. Dunning was called from Buffalo. Under his direction 
a Sunday-school of about 300 was gathered on the West Side. 

It will thus be seen that from the first, this church, the 
original fountain of Presb3^terianism in Cleveland, began to give 
out while as yet it was small, to replenish itself and again give 
forth, and so on unto this very day. Its location, at first central 
to its constituency, has for many years been in the heart of the 
business center. About 750 of its members have aided in found- 
ing new enterprises. There have been received from the begin- 
ning to the present time over 4,000 communicants. The original

founders and many of the early members have passed away, but 
the church still stands, in the center of an immense population; 
within a half mile of its doors live 15,000 people, and the church 
thus has a mission as important as ever. 

Under Dr. Haydn's consecrated and energetic rule the Old 
Stone Church is preparing to do important institutional work in 
the heart of the city of Cleveland.

miles Park Presbyterian Cbwrcb. 



FOR some years previous to the organization of the Miles Park 
Presbyterian Church occasional sermons were preached in 
private houses in Newburgh, and a Sunday-school was formed. 
This school held its first session in a small room in the home of 
a Mr. Fuller ; there being present but eight persons including 
pupils and teachers. The attendance doubled for three succeed-

ing Sundays, so that there were about seventy-five pupils 
enrolled. This school was maintained until the church was 
established, and being the only Sunday-school in Newburgh it 
was a union work, supported by all the Christian families in the 
place. 

December 31. 1832. a meeting was held to organize a 
church. Rev. Stephen Peet, of Euclid, presided at the meeting, 



meetings in a small room in a building on Miles avenue, which 
was used as a carpenter shop. 

In December, 1841, a charter of incorporation was secured 
from the State Legislature, under the title of the "First Presby- 
terian Society of Newburgh," with William Billings, Adam 
Meech, John Stair, John Givens, Isaac Cod}^ Isaac Reed, 
Nathan Ingersoll, William Davidson, William Kerr, John Reed, 
Gurdon Meech and Alexander Webster, as members. 

The first regular meeting of this societ}' was held in the 
Town Hall, March 10, 1842. Elijah Ingersoll was chosen presid- 
ing officer, and Isaac Reed, Elijah Ingersoll and Adam Meech 
were elected trustees; William Davidson was made treasurer, and 
William Billings clerk.

assisted by the Rev. Harvey 
Eyon. The original members 
were Edward and Theodosia 
Taylor, James and Sarah Ash- 
well, James and Elizabeth South- 
ern, John and Martha Stair, 
John and Amy Reighter, and 
Elizabeth Derrick. These per- 
sons constituted the new church, 
called the First Congregational 
Church of Newburgh, but the 
new organization placed itself 
under the care of the Cleveland 
Presbytery, on the principle of 
the Plan of Union. The church 
was organized and held its first

was presented to the society through Elijah Ingersoll, by Mr. j 
George Walker, of New York, who owned considerable land in I 
the locality. Upon this site the first house of worship was 
erected and dedicated July 14, 1842. 

The Rev. John Keys began his labors as stated supply in 
1835, remaining until 1838. He was succeeded in June, 1839, by j 
Rev. Matthew Fox, who labored as stated supply until 184.5. i 

In the year 1840, when the church was made Presbyterian i 
in polity, it withdrew from the Cleveland Presbytery, and was i 
taken under the care of the Old School Presbytery, of Wooster, | 
but it returned to the care of the Cleveland Presb3'tery in 1845. 
John Stair, William Billings and Adam Meech formed the first 
session. 

At the close of Mr. Fox's labors there was no regular preach- 
ing for some time, and then Rev. Mr. McReynolds was engaged, 
who remained stated supply two years. 

In June, 1849, the Rev. James 
Shaw, D.D., began his ministry as 

settled pastor. He remained in the ' 
work in this field until November, % ^ 

1859, a little over ten years, and was „ j 

much beloved by the people. After ! 



Chester supplied the pulpit for a year. 

Rev. E. W. Childs, at present pastor } 
of the Presbyterian Church at Gran- 
ville, O., succeeded Mr. Chester, and 
remained two years. 

The Rev. William Turner was in- Rev. James Shaw, D.D. 
stalled in 1862, but in 1864 he received 

leave of absence to enter upon the service as Chaplain in the 
army during the war of the Rebellion, and his place was filled by 
the temporary services of Rev. Joseph S. Edwards. In 1865 Mr. 
Turner resumed his work as pastor, but resigned in March, 1867. 

For many years the growth of the church was slow, and the 
society was obliged to receive the assistance of the Home Mission- 
ary Society to maintain regular services. During the latter part of 
Mr. Turner's pastorate Newburgh began to grow in population,

through the estabhshment of pioneer manufacturing interests, 
from which have grown the Cleveland and the Union Rolling 
Mill Companies. This produced a more vigorous church life. 

Rev, Eleroy Curtis, D.D., began his labors June i6, 1867, 
and was installed May 19, 1868. At the commencement of this 
pastorate there were enrolled 106 members, while only about 
seventy were resident in the place. Under the leadership of Dr. 

Curtis the church made plans for a new 
building. The site on Miles Park was 
selected, and the present brick edifice 
^ was erected. The corner-stone was laid 

May 23, 1869, but the formal dedication 
did not occur until May 12, 1872, the 
basement having been used for two years 
as a place of worship. For seventeen 
years Dr. Curtis conducted an afternoon 
service at the Asj^lum for the Insane, in 
addition to the services in his church, 
and he was, for a number of j^ears, Stated 
Rev. Eleroy Curtis. D.D, Clerk of Presbytery. He was beloved, not 
only by the people of Newburgh, but b}' 
the church at large in Cleveland. Under his pastorate the Miles 
Park Church kept pace with the growth of the village, until it 
became a part of the city. Over 500 persons were added to the 
church during this long pastorate. After ninteen years of serv- 
ice Dr. Curtis died March 31, 1SS6, leaving the work of his ripest 
years to one beginning the ministerial career. 

The present pastor, Rev. Arthur C. Ludlow, had been in- 
vited to assist Dr. Curtis during the summer of 1886, having 
completed his second year in the Seminary. Before he reached 
Cleveland Dr. Curtis had died. Mr. Ludlow supplied the pulpit 
that summer, and received a call on condition of finishing the 
third year of the course at Union Theological Seminary. During 
the eight months necessary to complete this course, the pulpit 
was supplied b}^ Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D., and Prof. E. P. Cleave- 
land, of Adelbert College. Mr. Ludlow was installed May 17, 
1887, and still continues to labor in the field. A new Sunday- 
school building has been erected, which has largely added to the

facilities of the church for social, as well as spiritual life. This 
building was dedicated January 15th, 1893. 

During the past year the church edifice has been enlarged 
and renovated, so that the interior is more beautiful and attractive. 
The hope of this old church lies in the strong body of young peo- 
ple, who are very active. During the present pastorate, about 
250 persons have been added to the church upon confession 
of faith, and a goodly number by letter. A very promising 
mission Sunday-school, under the management of Mr. William 
A. Galpin, is conducted at Forest Dale, which, in time, should 
grow into a Presbyterian Church.

Second Presbyterian Church 



Ristory of the Second Presbyterian Cfturcb. 

THE Second Presbyterian Church was organized June 
i2th, 1844, on the old charter of 1837, at which time an 
unsuccessful attempt had been made to form a church. June 4th, 
1844, a preliminary meeting of all persons friendly to the new 
enterprise had been held in the session room of the First Church. 
At this meeting Mr. William A. Otis was called to the chair, and 
Mr. T. P. Handy was appointed secretary. 

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : 
Resolved, That when we organize ourselves into a church it 
be styled "The Second Presbyterian Church of Cleveland.'' 

Resolved, That we adopt a similar form of government as at 
present held by the First Presbyterian Church, with their form 
of Covenant and Confession of Faith. 



THE SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 



lOI 



Resolved, That Rev. S. B. Can field, of Ohio City (now 
Cleveland, West Side) is our first choice to act as pastor o"^ said 
church, when duly organized. A committee was appointed, 
consisting of S. H. Fox, J. F. Taintor and H. C. Kingsley, to 
ascertain the names of such members of the First Church as pro- 
posed to join the new organization. The charter members signed 
their names to a paper, the spirit of which shows that the exodus 
of the members from the First Church was not due in the least to 
any dissatisfaction with the mother church. The meeting to 
consider the removal of members from the First Church was 
publicly called, held in the session room of the church about to 
be left, and presided over by Dr. Aiken, pastor of the church. 

At this meeting, held Wednes- 
day evening, June 12, 1844, 
fifty-eight members were en- 
rolled, of whom all but five 
were received from the First 
Church. 

Six ruling Elders and 
three Deacons were unani- 
mously elected by ballot as 
follows: 

Ruling Elders — David 
Long, M. D., Henry Sexton, 
Jeremiah Holt, Eli Morgan, 
Jesse F. Taintor, Samuel H. 
Mather. 

Deacons — Wm. A. Otis, 
H. Fox. 

Elder Samuel H. Mather was elected Clerk of the Session, 
which office he filled for forty consecutive years, resigning in 
May, 1884. 

Two days after this meeting the officers met in the office of 
Mr. T. P. Handy, and voted to extend a call to Rev. Sherman B. 
Canfield to become pastor of the church. 

The house of worship which had been built by an organiza- 
tion known as the First Congregational Church, located at the 
north-west corner of the Public Square, was purchased for $3,200,

and there the Second Presbyterian Church commenced its 
services. 

Mr. Canfield accepted the call of the church, and was 
installed as pastor on the evening of September 3, 1844, 
sermon being preached by Rev. Samuel C. Aiken, D.D., pastor 
of the First Church. The first prayer-meeting was held in the 
commodious audience room, September 6, 1844, and was a meet- 
ing of deep consecration of the members to the new work. 

On September 8, the Sunday-school was organized, with 
fifteen teachers and forty-five scholars. Mr. T. P. Handy was 
elected superintendent. 

The pastorate of Rev. Mr. Canfield continued for nearly ten 
years. Its success justified the wisdom of the founders of the

I04 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 

church, who at their first meeting, before the church was formed, 
resolved that he should be their pastor. Mr. Canfield was i:ot a 
I'ugged man physically, but he was a man of sterling mental and 
spiritual qualities. He possessed a 
vigorous intellect, a refined and culti- 
vated manner, and a heart full of 
kindness and sympathy. During his 
pastorate there were added to the 
church 349 members. 

In the spring of 1850, the congre- 
gation having increased so that the 
church building was inadequate to 
accommodate it, a lot was purchased 
on the south side of Superior street, 
east of the Public Square, the site of Rev. Sherman B, Canfield, D.D 
the present "Crocker Block," and ar- 
rangements were made to construct upon it a new house of 
worship. The old edifice was sold to the Second Baptist Church, 
and it was removed to the corner of Erie street and Central ave- 
nue, where it now stands. 

In 1 85 1 the new church building so far neared its completion 
that services were held in the lecture room in October. The 
audience room was completed in 1852, and service was first held 
in it, in Ma}^ of that year. 

On April 23, 1854, Dr. Canfield was, at his own request, and 
greatly to the regret of his people, dismissed from the church to 
accept a call to the First Presbyterian Church of Syracuse, N. Y. 
There he labored with great success until the time of his death, 
March 5, 1871. 

On September 27, 1854, a call was extended to Rev. James 
Eells, of Penn Yan, N. Y., to become pastor of the church. Mr. 
Eells accepted, and commenced his labors on November loth, 
following. He was installed January 24th, 1855, the sermon 
being preached by the venerable father of the pastor, Rev. James 
Eells, for man}^ years a home missionar}^ in Northern Ohio. The 
ancestors of Mr. Eells had, for a period of more than 200 years, 
without a break in the succession, been ministers in the Presby- 
terian or Congregational Church in New England. Mr. Eells was

Rev. James Eells, D.D 



thirt3^-two 3'ears of age when settled in the pastorate of this 
church. He was tall and graceful in figure, with a certain dig- 
nit}^ in demeanor, yet he w^as approachable, 
■ " c affable and courteous. He was everybod3''s 

friend. His preaching w^as less profound and 
logical than that of Dr. Canfield, but he had a 
faculty' of convincing his hearers of the in- 
tense earnestness of his convictions, and when 
he spoke, people felt that his w^ords reflected 
the deep feeling of his heart. 

In i860, on account of the ill health of 
Mrs. Eells, Mr. Eells asked for a dismission 
from the pastorate of this church. This was 
reluctlantl^^ granted him on i\pril 3, i860. Mr. 
Eells went to the Reformed "Church on the 
Heights," in Brookl}^, N. Y. During his ministry of five years 
in the Second Church, the additions had been 265. 

In March, 1861, a call was issued to Rev. Theron H. 
Hawks, of West Springfield, Mass., and was accepted, Mr. 
Hawks commencing his labors April 21st. On the 26th of the 
same month he was dul}^ installed b}^ the Presbytery of Cleve- 
land. 

During the pastorate of Dr. Hawks, extending over a period 
of seven years, 200 persons were added to the church. Dr. 
Hawks combined many qualifications which are essential to a 
successful ministry. He was scholarly 
in his tastes, a pleasing and effective 
speaker, and a devoted pastor. On April 
26, 1868, Dr. Hawkes was, at his own 
request, dismissed from the pastorate, 
and later accepted a call to the First 
Congregational Church of Marietta, 
Ohio, where he remained for maii}^ 3'ears. 
He now resides in Springfield, Mass. 

For a 3^ear and a half after the de- 
parture of Dr. Hawks the church had 
been engaged in energetic but fruitless 
efforts to secure a satisfactor3' successor,

when a correspondence was opened with Dr. Eells, who was then 
pastor of the First Presb^'terian Church of San Francisco, and 
this resulted in extending to him a call to become a second time 
pastor of the church. A feeling of discouragement which had 
come over the church began to give way. The people rallied 
with the old time enthusiasm, but this second pastorate of Dr. 
Eells was destined to be short. The health of the pastor became 
impaired through excessive labor, and that of his wife, whose 
serious illness had compelled his removal ten 3'ears before, again 
became critical, so that in September, 1871, Dr. Eells expressed 
his fear that he might be obliged to resign. Leave of absence for 
six months was granted, and it was hoped that rest and a change 
of climate might bring relief. In the spring of 1872 Dr. Eells 
resumed his pastoral work, but a year later was compelled to 
resign, and on June 22, 1873, he was dismissed from his pastor- 
ate. He went to the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland, 
California. He was elected to the chair of Theology in the San 
Francisco Theological Seminary, the duties of which position 
he assumed in addition to those of his pastorate. Subse- 
quently he accepted the chair of Pastoral Theology in Lane 
Seminary, at Cincinnati, the duties of which he discharged with 
distinguished ability until the day of his death, March 7, 1887. 
Dr. Eells was elected moderator of the General Assembh' in 
Chicago in 1877, and was honored with many other elections to 
important duties by the church at large. The funeral services of 
Dr. Eells were held in the Second Church, which he loved, and 
his mortal remains lie in beatiful Lake View Cemeterj-. 

Some time before Dr. Eells severed his relations with the 
Second Church he corresponded, with the concurrence of the 
Session, with certain of his ministerial friends, with a view of 
finding a suitable successor for himself. The result of this cor- 
respondence was a unanimous call from the church to Rev. 
Charles S. Pomeroy, then pastor of the Ross Street Presbyterian 
Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y. On June 22, 1873, the very day 
when Dr. Eells preached his farewell sermon, Mr. Pomero}' was 
installed as pastor. Dr. Pomeroy came in the full vigor of his 
manhood. Trained in the ministry of the church, of ripe ex- 
perience, a facile and vigorous writer, an orator of ability, and an

accomplished scholar, he secured from the first the affection of 
the people. 

About four o'clock on the morning of Monday, October 9, 
1876, the church edifice took fire from a cinder brought by the 
wind from a fire in a distant part of the city, and in a few hours 
all but the lecture room was in ashes. Arrangements were made 
for services on the Sabbath in the Opera House, and then in Case 
Hall. So large a number of the members of the congregation 
had moved to the eastern part of the city since the construction 
of the burned church that it was decided to sell the lot on which 
it had stood, and build a new church farther up town. A com- 
modious lot was therefore purchased on the northwest corner of 
Prospect street and Sterling avenue, and energetic efforts were at 
once made to erect upon it a new edifice. 
This was completed in the autumn of 
1878, and was dedicated on October 27, 
of that year. For twenty-one years Dr. 
Pomeroy ministered to the Second 
Church. During that time 1,081 persons 
were added to the church, making a net 
gain of 386 during his pastorate. The 
semi-centennial exercises of this church 
were celebrated from June 10-13, 1894. 
After this happy occasion Dr. Pomeroy 
took his customary vacation, but upon Rev. Charles S. Pomeroy, D.D 

his return, after a few days illness, he 

died, September 10, 1894. His death was a great blow, not only 
to the church he had so long served, but to the whole city, and to 
the church at large, in the ranks of whose ministry he was well 
known. The pulpit was vacant for some months, but finally a 
most fortunate and happy selection of a pastor was made in the 
call of Dr. Paul F. Sutphen, formerly pastor of the Woodland 
Avenue Presbyterian Church, but at the time of the call, pastor 
of the Oxford Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. Dr. Sutphen 
has a host of friends to welcome his return to Cleveland, and 
under his ministration the past power of this strong church will 
be increasingly perpetuated.

euclia Avenue Presbyterian Cburcb. 

OWING to ftie overcrowded condition of the old First Church, 
the Euclid Street, now the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian 
Church, was organized in the spirit of good will, with thirteen 
charter members from the mother church, among whom was the 
veteran Elisha Taylor, one of the founders of the First Church. 
On November 15, 1851, a subscription was started for the purpose 
of purchasing a lot, or building a church, or both. By the 9th of 



122 



HISTORY OF CLKVELA.ND PRKSBYTERIANISM. 



December, 1851, $10,000 was subscribed, and the 27th of the 
same month a building committee was appointed, consisting of 
Messrs. Klisha Taylor, WilHam D. Beattie, William Slade, Jr., 
John M. Woolsey and Jonathan Gillett, to whom, in the sum- 
mer of 1853, Messrs. Zalmon Fitch and Joseph Perkins were 
added. The present site having been chosen, it was pur- 
chased of John M. Woolsey for $4,500 in deferred payments. 
A plan proposed by J. J. Husband of Cincinnati was adopted, 
and the erection of a church edifice was begun in the summer 
of 1852, the corner-stone being laid in August of that year. 



three years." 

February i, 1853, ^ society was organized under the name 
of "The Euclid Street Presbyterian Church and Society of 
Cleveland." The following officers were elected: President, 
Zalmon Fitch; Trustees. George Worthington, F. S. Slosson, 
Elisha Taylor; Clerk, Wm. Slade, Jr. During the year 1880 the 
corporate name was changed to ' ' Euclid Avenue Presbyterian 
Church and Society of Cleveland." 

The lecture room was first opened for public worship May 
29, 1853, when a sermon was preached by Rev. E. N. W. Saw- 
tell, who acted as stated supply until the arrival of the first 
pastor, the Rev. Joseph B. Bittinger, who had been professor in 
Middlebury College, Vt. The call, issued May 9, 1853, was

The church was duly organ- 
ized January 25, 1853, a 
meeting held in the lecture room 
of the First Presbyterian Church, 
Dr. Aiken presiding, assisted 
by Rev. S. B. Canfield of the 
Second Presbyterian Church. 
Thirteen persons were received 
into membership, all by letters 
from the First Church. The 
"Confession of Faith, Discipline 
and Government of the Presby- 
terian Church of the United 
States" was adopted, "except that 
the elders and deacons of said 
cliurch shall hold office for only

accepted by him, and the i8th of the following September he 
began his labors by preaching in the lecture room. His first 
sermon in the church was April 9, 
1854, and on the 26th of that month he 
was installed as pastor. 

The first Sunday-school was organ- 
ized June 12, 1853. William Slade, 
Jr., was chosen Superintendent for 
one year, when he was succeeded by 
Joseph Perkins, who served as Super- 
intendent until he died in 1885. The 
first Board of Elders, consisting of 
Messrs. Elisha Taylor and Zalmon Fitch, 
was elected February 1 , 1854. The Lord's 
Supper was first administered in the 
church the 21st of the following May. 

Messrs. Augustus Fuller and Joseph Perkins were elected July 
5th of the same year, as the first Deacons of the church. 

Dr. F. S. Slosson was the first Chorister, and for six years 
maintained a large voluntary choir, which furnished most 
valuable aid to the Sabbath services. 

The 1 6th of October, 1862, the pastoral relation between 
Rev. Mr. Bittinger and the church was dissolved. For months 
prior to the event his ill-health had prevented him from taking 
any part in the care of the church, and for 
more than a year Dr. Aiken discharged 
the duties of temporary pastor. 

February 8, 1863, Rev. John Mon- 
teith, of Jackson, Mich., was called to the 
pastorate, and the loth of June, of that 
year, he was installed. This relation was 
dissolved October 2, 1866. 

December i, 1867, Rev. Osman A. 
Lyman, D.D., of the Lane Seminary 
Church, Cincinnati, began his labors as 
stated supply, and February 17, 1868, 
he was called to the pastorate. On the 
19th of the following May he was installed. He continued as 
pastor of the church until his death, which occurred suddenly

January 19, 1872, causing most profound grief, not only in his 
church, but in the entire community. 

February 18, 1873, a call was extended to Rev. Charles H. 
Baldwin, of Jamestown, N. Y. He was installed April 20, 
1873, and continued as pastor until the following December, 
when, upon his own request, the relation was dissolved by 
Presbytery. 

October 26, 1874, a call was given to Rev. W. H. Jeffers, 
D.D., Professor of Greek and Hebrew in Wooster University. 
He was installed May g, 1875, and his pastoral relation con- 
tinued until June 4, 1877, when it was dissolved by Presby- 
tery, that he might accept a call to a Professorship in the West- 
ern Theological Seminarj- at Alle- 
gheny City, Pa. 

Rev. J. L. Robertson was called 
October 15, 1877, and was installed 
the 26th of the following December. 
Mr. Robertson served until Novem- 
ber 13, 1881. 

After being nearly a 3^ear without 
a pastor a call was extended to Rev. 
Wm. V. W. Davis, of Manchester, N. 
H., August 14, 1882, and he was in- 
stalled the 19th of November of the 
same year. By an urgent call from 
another field Mr. Davis was induced to resign the pastorate, his 
resignation taking effect April 15, 1887. 

The present pastor, Rev. Samuel P. Sprecher, D.D., was 
called from his work in San Francisco, Cal., March 14, 1887, 
and was installed May 29th. The first pastor of this church 
was one of the most notable men in the ministry of Cleveland, 
and probably the best Bible student the city has ever had, and 
looking over the list of pastors one recognizes in each character- 
istic traits of strength and usefulness. 

During these forty-three years there have been frequent 
enlargements, even the rebuilding of portions of the church. 
The original subscription for the purchase of a lot, and the erec- 
tion of a house of worship was $10,650. The first cost, however, 
was $60,750. The raising of this sum greatly taxed the financial

Strength of the church, and it was not until the spring of 1871 
that, through the effort of Dr. Lyman, the last indebtedness for 
^10,000 was cancelled. In 1862, the 
lecture room was enlarged through funds 
raised by the Sunday-school. Three 
rooms were added on the east side, and 
the vestibule on the north. In March, 
1864, the organ was completed and 
placed in the church, at a cost of $4,000. 
During the summer of 1868 the steeple 
was completed, and many repairs were 
made. Thus from time to time changes 
were made in the interior until, during 
the summer of 1883, the most extensive 
repairs were made, which closed the 
audience room for nine months. The 
walls were beautifully frescoed, and new windows were put in. 
Especial mention should be made of the beautiful central window, 
on the west side of the church, which was imported from Europe 
and presented to the church in memory of the late George 
Worthington, by the family. This extensive repair involved an 
outlay of over $15,000, which was all raised within the church. 

The beautiful parsonage and lot on Euclid avenue, the 
crowning gift to the church by Elder Joseph Perkins before his 
decease, makes a very valuable addi- 
tion to the church property, besides 
furnishing an attractive and central 
home for the pastor of the church. In 
the summer of 1891 the old chapel, 
which had been too small for the 
growing needs of the church, was 
torn down, and a much larger, more 
commodious and modern building was 
erected on the site, at a cost of about 
$15,000. The corner-stone of this 
building was laid in September, 1891, 
and the dedication of the finished work ^- ^- 

was in the fore part of January, 1892. Miss Anne Walworth has 
recently provided an endowment for this church in the sum of 




126 HISTORY OF CLEVKLAND PRKSBYTERIANISM. 

^100,000. The Walworth family has been connected with the 
church from its organization, and this liberal endowment is given 
as a family memorial. 

The Kuclid Avenue Presbyterian Church is rapidly beginning 
to occupy a position similar to that of the Old Stone Church. The 
trend of resident population eastward, and the advance of busi- 
ness blocks in the same direction, are making this organization a 
down-town church. Opportunity for institutional w^ork opens, 
and with the generous endowment already given, there is a 
bright prospect for aggressive Christian work, under the able 
leadership of Dr. Sprecher, who is one of the most versatile and 
popular ministers in Cleveland.

IN March, 1853, the " Executive Committee " of the Old School 
Presb3^terian Church sent Rev. Frederick T. Brown to Cleve- 
land to inquire into the practicabilit}^ of organizing a church of 
that type- The report being favorable, 
Mr. Brown gathered twent3'-six mem- 
bers, and organized a church Januar}^ i, 
1S54. At first the meetings were held in 
Temperance Hall on Ontario street; then 
Mr. Brown bought the old " Round 
Church," formerl}' occupied b}' the Mil- 
lerites, corner of Wood and Theresa 
streets. Here for several 3'ears Mr. 
Brown, an able man, and one devotedl}^ 
earnest in his work, ministered in an ac- 
Rev. Frederick T. Brown. D.D.ceptable manner, drawing his congrega- 
tion from all denominations. Upon a list of subscribers to a fund 
for the building of a new church, and subscription to Mr. Brown's 
salar}^ are found the names of some of the most prominent men

in the city at that time. The church was incorporated as " West- 
minster " (Old School Presbyterian) Church, of Cleveland, De- 
cember 12, 1855, and Charles Hickox, James Mason, Alexander 
Mcintosh and John Cary were elected Trustees, and K. J. Estep, 
Clerk. 

A house of worship was erected at the corner of Prospect 
and Huntington streets in 1858, and Mr. 
Brown continued his ministrations until 
during the war in 1861, when he left the 
work temporarily to accept the Chaplain- 
ship of the Seventh Ohio Regiment, and 
went through the campaign in West Vir- 
ginia. On his return, owing to the hard 
war times, and the difficulty of raising 
money to pa}^ the church debt, Mr. 
Brown resigned, and was succeeded by 
Rev. Moses A. Hoge, who labored until 
September 10, 1865. In April, 1866, the 
Rev. S. P. Lynn was called. He served the church until April, 
1867, and was succeeded b}^ Rev. V. A. Lewis, whose pastorate 
ceased in the early part of 1869. 

On the first Sabbath of April, 1870, the Rev. E. B. Raffen- 
sperger took charge of the church. He was installed April 16, 
1 87 1. The Old and the New School Presbyterian Churches 
having united, an effort was made by the Cleveland Presbytery 
to strengthen this enterprise. For a time, with the hearty co- 
operation of the Presbyterian Union, 
the church increased in strength, but 
many of its members having moved near 
the new Memorial, now Case Avenue 
Presbyterian Church, and the church 
occupying the same field as that of the 
Euclid Avenue Church, Mr. Raffensper- 
ger finding the existence of a debt, of 
which he was not aware when he was in- 
stalled, resigned, and closed his labors

to pay the existing debts. The building passed into the posses-

of the Epworth Memorial M. E. Church, where it was used until 
the present structure was erected.

AT the suggestion of Dr. Aiken, pastor of the First Church, 
a Sunday-school was started in 1859 on the north side of 
St. Clair street near Lyman street. Charles W. Noble, Esq., was 
its first superintendent. At that time the community was called 
Wasonville, a name taken from the car shops owned by Charles 
Wason. 

In i860 the school moved to the south side of St. Clair street, 
to a place now owned by the Lake Shore Welsh Church Society. 
Here the school continued until it entered a church, erected on 
Aaron street in the spring of 1867. This was its abiding place 
for a period of twenty years, until it entered the present building 
on the corner of Case avenue and Superior street.

During this time the school had six superintendents, as fol- 
lows : Charles W. Noble, Esq., from 1859 to 1864; Hon. T. D. 
Crocker, 1864 to 1872; Henry Nash, 1872 to 1873; T.D.Crocker

Davis, 1874 to 1875; W. B. 
Porter, 1875 to 1876; L. J. 
Talbot, 1876 to 1879. 

In 1879, Mr. S. P. Fenn 
was elected superintendent, 
and for almost seventeen years 
he has been the greatly be- 
loved and remarkably success- 
ful superintendent of this 
school, which for many years

Rev. Dr. Goodrich, and Elders R. F. Smith and George H.

1870. The church started with fifty-one members, all of whom 
brought their letters from the First 
Church. James Geekie was made its 
first ruling elder. Dr. Goodrich named 
the organization the North Church, alter 
the old North Church in Boston. Rev. 
Anson Smyth, D. D., was called as the 
first pastor of the church. He remained 
two years, but was never installed. He 
was an excellent preacher, a tender- 
hearted and kind man, and a successful 
worker. Dr. Smyth was succeeded by 
Rev. H. R. Hoisington, who was in-

character, who had the affection of the congregation, laboring 
diligently and faithfully until July 11, 1880. 

Dr. William Gaston, the present pastor, began his work in 
this field November i, 1880, and under his wise executive, and 
indefatigable pastoral ability, the North Church has greatly pros- 
pered. Almost eighteen hundred persons have been received 
into membership in this church, of which number one-half have 
been added since the present church building was erected, eight 
years ago. In addition to the help of the ordinary membership 
in the past six years, the pastor has had valuable assistants, 

namely, Miss M. J. Weaver for nearly 
^ , three years. Rev. Charles L. Chalfant 

for a few months, and Miss Anna C. 
Stevens for nearly two years. One of 
the most powerful agencies for growth in 
this church has been the Christian En- 
deavor Society, or Societies, for there are 
three of these organizations, which have 
called out a wealth of talent among the 
young people who are coming into the 
church. 

Two Sunday-schools have been 
started by the North Church, and have 
grown into promising churches. The 
Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church is the result of a mission 
started on Becker avenue, and the second mission was organized in 
an unoccupied school house in Glenville July 3, 1893. This has 
grown into the Glenville Presbyterian Church. 

The lot, corner of Case avenue and Superior street, which the 
present North Church occupies, was purchased by the congrega- 
tion at a cost of ^10,000. The congregation purchased the organ, 
also, at an expense of $2,700, but the building, which cost about 
$27,000, was erected by the First Church with a little help from 
other churches. This building, admirably adapted for Sunday- 
school work, was dedicated October 23, 1887. During the past 
year, the church has been renovated at an expense of $1,300. 
The congregations are large, especially at the evening service, 
and a large annual ingathering of souls is not an exceptional 
experience, but the rule.

Case nmu Presbyterian Cbwrcb. 



THE project of a new Presbyterian church, in the vicinity of 
Case avenue, had its rise among the members of the Euclid 
Avenue Presbyterian Church, under the pastorate of Dr. Lyman. 

It was deemed advisable to occupy the field 
in advance by the establishment of a Sunday- 
school. Mr. and Mrs. Donley Hobart having 
obtained pledges enough to secure the regular 
V^^^^iS^^ / attendance of a sufficient number of children 
warrant the undertaking, two other mem- 
bers of the Euclid Avenue Church, Elders 
Mrs. D. Hobart. Truman Hastings and Dr. F. S. Slosson, were 
appointed a committee to organize the school, and to superintend 
its progress. On the first Sabbath of November, 1867, in a small 




HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIAXISM 



brick grocery, the school was organized. The weather being 
inclement, there was a small gathering of eight teachers and four- 
teen scholars. With Mr. Hastings, as superintendent, were the 
following teachers: J, D. Crehore, Donley Hobart, Mrs. Donley 
Hobart, Mrs. T. Hastings, Fred Whittlesey, Mrs. Fred Whittle- 
se}' and Mrs. Louisa J. Patterson. The original roll of scholars 
was Xewton B. Hobart, Clara Hobart, Ella Hobart, John B. 
Hobart, Herbert Loomis, Howard Loomis, Helen Patterson, 
Adelaide Patterson, Wallace W. Ludlow, Arthur C. Ludlow, 
Nelly Taber, Charles Diepold, Charles R. Chandler and Louise 
Chandler. Of this number of scholars, John B. Hobart and 



removed from Ford's grocer}^ at the southeastern corner of Case 
and Cedar avenues, to an unfinished dwelling on Case avenue- 
Early in 1868, a subscription was opened among the members of 
the Euclid Avenue Church, payable to Truman Hastings, H. R. 
Hatch, and George L. Ingersoll, in trust for the purchase or lease 
of a suitable lot, and for the erection of a chapel thereon, with a 
condition that the property should ultimately be conveyed to a 
new Presbyterian church, which it was supposed would be organ- 
ized in that neighborhood. The amount subscribed was about 
32,000. With this a lot was purchased on Sibley street near Case 
avenue, and on this lot a wooden chapel was erected. Simul- 
taneously with the starting of this Sunday-school, a weekl}^

prayer-meeting was established, which was merged in time into 
the prayer-meeting of the church that grew out of the school. 

At a meeting of the Presbyterian 
Union held January 10, 1870, this enter- 
prise received hearty endorsement, and 
with the moral support of the Union, 
Rev. James A. Skinner, the third 
Sabbath of January, 1870, commenced 
holding Sabbath evening services in the 
chapel, and the first Sabbath of April, 
1870, Mr. Skinner began to hold morn- 
ing and evening services. The first 
Sabbath of September, 1870, at the close 
of the morning service, a committee con- 
sisting of Messrs. Hastings, Taber, Preston, Van Tine, Hopkins, 
Hobart, Pierce, Walter, and Betts, was appointed to request the 
Presbytery to appoint a commission to make the necessary inves- 
tigations, as the way seemed clear to organize a Presbyterian 
church. On the second day of October, 1870, the commission of 
Presbytery met in the chapel, and in the presence of a large con- 
gregation proceeded to organized the Memorial Presbyterian 
Church, with thirty-four charter members. The first Elders 
were Truman Hastings, Thomas Taber, and Dr. John C Preston. 
Mr. Donley Hobart was elected Deacon, and the services were 
concluded by the administration of the 
Lord's Supper. Sunday, November 6, 
1870, the Case Avenue Mission Sunday- 
school was formally surrendered to the 
care of the session of the Memorial Pres- 
byterian Church. From the beginning, 
this enterprise received the sympathy and 
most liberal support of the members of 
the mother church. The wooden chapel 
was soon outgrown, and the lot on the 
corner of Case and Cedar avenues was 
purchased, and in 1872 the brick chapel 

was built and occupied. Mr. Skinner Rev. Francis A. Horton, D.D. 
continued to labor in connection with this church, as stated sup- 
ply, until some time in December, 1873. During his ministry

the church increased in strength and numbers. December 22, 
1872, the church issued its first pastoral call, sending the 

C^^-^^ same to Rev. Francis A. Horton, then 

^fe^^^ pastor of the Reformed Church, of Cats- 

J kill, N. Y. Mr. Horton accepted the 

^ ^ 5 call, and began his labors on the second 

Sabbath of Februar}^ 1874, and was in- 
-^^^ stalled March 22, following. Mr. Hor- 

ton 's pastorate continued to March 25, 
1883. During the years 1880-81, the 

^ »^^_ present church edifice was built, and was 

dedicated July 3, 188 1. Mr. Horton 
went from the Case Avenue Church (for 

„ ,, ^ , the name was changed from Memorial to 

Rev. Rollo Ogden. ^ 

Case Avenue Presbyterian Church in 
1878), to Oakland, California. The greater part of Mr. Horton's 
pastorate w^as in the brick chapel, but he labored to see what 
might have come earlier, had it not been for the panic in the 
early seventies, a new church building, and a prosperous congre- 
gation. Rev. Rollo Ogden, who had been an associate pastor of 
the First Church, but who had more recently labored in Mexico, 
had returned to Cleveland, on account of the critical illness of his 
wife, a daughter of Dr. Arthur Mitchell, about the time Mr. Hor- 
ton departed. He was called to the Case Avenue Church, and 
was installed April 29, 1883. He was a ^^^^ 
man of high talent, but left the ministry 
of the Presbyterian Church, April i, 1887. 
He has since been engaged in literary 
wwk, and at present is connected with a 
New York paper. The church then 
called Rev. P. E. Kipp, who was installed 
July 5, 1887. Mr. Kipp, like Dr. Horton, 
came from the Dutch Reformed Church 
of New York State. Mr. Kipp labored 
in this church until November 15, 1894, 
when, on account of the ill-health of 

Mrs. Kipp, he was compelled to seek a Rev. P. E, Kipp.

at San Diego, California, where he is at present laboring sue-

called from Baltimore, Md., and was installed May 7, 1895. He 
is thus in the beginning of his labors in this field, which has been 
weakened somewhat in recent years by the tide of population 
eastward, and the establishment of many churches in the vicinity, 
but the field is one which may yet, with vigorous, consecrated 
work, yield rich fruitage.

Wooaiand nmm Presbyterian Cburcb* 



IN 1855 the Mayflower Sunday-school, which had been organ- 
ized two years before, was adopted as a Mission of the Second 
Presb3^terian Church, and a building was erected on a lot, given 
by Mr. Joseph Perkins of the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian 
Church. Messrs. T. P. Handy, T. Dwight, Dan P. Hells, and C. 
J. Dockstader, were successively Superintendents. Reverends 
Little and Day preached, and otherwise fostered this work, which 
issued at last in the formation of the Woodland Avenue Presby- 
terian Church. The first effectual step toward the organization 
of this church was taken at a small meeting held in the autumn of 
1870, at the Willson School-house. A committee was appointed 
to act with the Presbyterian Union in raising money. If this 
committee should be successful it was authorized to procure a site, 
and to proceed to the erection of a chapel. Generous friends re- 
sponded promptly and liberally to the call, and the lot was pur-

chased, and the work on the building commenced the next sum- 
mer. The lower room was ready for occupancy early in April, 

1872, and the chapel was com- 
pleted in May, the total cost 
being over $27,000. The first 
available funds that came into 
the hands of this committee 
consisted of a legacy of $1,000, 
left for this purpose by Mrs. 
Sarah C. Adams, for twenty 
years a missionary among the 
Zulus at Port Natal, South 
Africa. The society was or- 
ganized at the Cleveland 
Protestant Orphan Asylum, 
at the corner of Woodland and 
Willson avenues, on the i8th 
of January, 1872. Early in 
April a Sabbath-school was 
formed, and the Mayflower Mission School was turned over to its 
care. The church was organized April 18, 1872, with fifty-four 
members. Of these twenty-eight were from Presbyterian church- 
es, chiefly from the Second Church, and twenty-three were from 
Congregational churches, chiefly from 
Plymouth Church. Three persons united 
upon confession of faith. 

The first pastor. Rev. K. P. Gardner, 
was installed June 30th, 1872. He was 
well fitted for the work of laying the 
foundation of the church. His deep piety 
and fervent zeal for the Master soon 
permeated the whole church, and during 
the four years pastorate there were added 
to the church, from congregation and 
from Sunday-school, 246 members. In 
the spring of 1876 Mr. Gardner's health 
failed, and he did not resume the ministry for several years. He 
is, at present, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Chatham, 
New Jersey.

The second pastor, Rev. S. Leroy Blake, D.D., was called 
from Concord, N. H., and installed December 12, 1877. Mr. 
Blake remained pastor until March, 1880. His genial manner, 
earnest appeals and activit}^ in the work soon won the favor of 

the congregation, and during his pas- 
torate, under the blessing of the Spirit, 
252 were added to the church on con- 
fession of faith, and 104 b}' letter. At 
present Dr. Blake is pastor of a Con- 
gregational church at New London, 
Conn. 

The third pastor. Rev. George L. 
Spining, D.D., was called from 
Kalamazoo, Mich., and was installed 
June 16, 1 88 1. His earnest and elo- 
quent presentation of the gospel was 
Rev. S. Leroy Blake. D.D. blessed by the addition of 316 mem-

bers to the church. He resigned October 2, 1885, and is now 
pastor of the Presbyterian Church at South Orange, X. J. 

The fourth pastor, Rev. Paul F. 
Sutphen, D.D.. was called in January, 
1886, from the Third Presbyterian 
Church of Elizabeth, X. J. This 
pastorate of seven years was richly 
blessed, there being added to the church 
nearh' 1,000 souls. Rev. Mr. Sutphen 
preached his last sermon December 11, 
1892, having accepted a call to the 
Second Church of Xewark. X. J., and 
after short pastorates in Xewark and 
Philadelphia, Mr. Sutphen has returned 
to Cleveland as pastor of the Second 
Presbyterian Church, the mother of the 
Woodland Avenue Church. 

Mr. Sutphen was succeeded in the Woodland Avenue 
Church by Rev. Charles Townsend, who had been pastor of the 
Presbyterian Church at Lansingburgh, X. Y. He assumed 
charge of the pastorate the first Sunda}' of Ma^*, 1893, and 
was installed the following Tuesday evening. After a YQvy 
successful pastorate of two years, with an addition of nearlj^ 200 
to the roll, Mr. Townsend accepted a call to the First Presb}'- 
terian Church of Orange, X. J. The church then called the 
Rev. Robert G. Hutchins, D.D., former- 
ly pastor of a church in Los Angeles, 
he having just returned from a visit to 
the Hawaiian Islands. He was installed 
October 22d, 1895. 

The Sunda3'-school of this church 
has long been the largest in Cleveland, 
reaching one \'ear a membership of 1623, 
and adding to the church in all 911. 
The membership of the church in twentj' 
years increased from fifty-four to 1141. 
From the beginning 1 135 have been re- 
ceived on confession of faith, and 770 b}' certificate, a total of 
1905. It is not surprising that, with a growth so phenomenal,

present church edifice was dedicated November 17, 1878, at a 
I cost of $26,369. The old Sundaj^-school 

building, or the original chapel, was replaced 



for Sunday-school, S8,i05; by Sunday-school, $9,071; b}^ 
auxiliary societies within the church, $28,809 — ^ total of 
$296,559, of which about $16,672 was received from without. 
Such a record is unparalleled. Although the Woodland Avenue 
Church has suffered somewhat by the eastward trend of popula- 
tion, there is a large field of usefulness remaining, and under 
wise leadership this very successful church will accomplish still 
greater things for the Master.

cost of $32,447. The corner-stone was laid 
May 27, 1890, and the building was dedi- 
cated December 28, 1890. The records of 
this church are so perfecth- kept that the 
growth, 3'ear by3^ear, and a statement of all 
money's contributed, are instantly available,

Ufillson nmm Presbyterian Church* 

¥ 

THE Willson Aveuue Church had its origin in a Union 
Sunday-school enterprise, not many rods from the spot 
where the present edifice stands. A subscription paper having 
been passed, a small chapel costing $1,350 was started in the 
month of February, 1874. There were five trustees in charge of 
the enterprise. Three were members of the Disciple Church, one 
was a Methodist, and one was a Presbyterian. On the 12th of 
April following, the new building was occupied for the first time. 
A week from that date Dr. Gerould organized a Sunday-school, 
ninety-two persons being present. The office of superintendent, 
however, soon passed into the hands of Mr. L. W. Bingham, who 



WILLSON AVENUK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. l8l 

held the position for three years. During the first year of its 
existence the Sunday-school increased to about 200 members. 

Services were often held 
in the chapel, and during the 
early part of 1875 there was a 
revival that spiritually quick- 
ened the work, and the at- 
tendance constantly increased. 
In the month of March, 
1877, the Second Presbyterian 
Church was attracted to the 
field, purchased the property, 
and carried on the work under 
Presbyterian auspices. 

At the time of this change 
Mr. Dan P. Hells became 
superintendent of the school, 
Rev. Arthur J. Waugh. and continued to act in this 

capacity for six years. The 
work took a deep hold upon his heart, and he continued to sacri- 
fice time and money for the good of the enterprise, which greatly 
prospered under his guiding hand. There was a large infant 
class taught by Mrs. Charles H. Beardslee, who did noble work 
among the little ones until the Lord called her home. The 
school constantly increased in attend- 
ance until, in 1881, the enrollment 
was over 600. Additions were made 
from time to time to the chapel, which 
became crowded to its utmost capacity. 
Preaching services began to be held 
quite regularly, attracting people of 
all denominations. Rev. H. R. Hois- 
ington held such services in the fall 
of 1879. Beginning with May, 1880, 
Rev. H. J. Steward preached regular- 
ly for about five months, and his la- 
bors were held in high esteem. After Rev. Carlos T. Chester, 
his departure Rev. J. H. Laughlin, who 

has since labored as a missionary in China, occupied the pulpit

for nearly nine months. He was succeeded by the Rev. Carlos 
T. Chester, who was called from the pastorate of the Andrew 
Presbyterian Church, of Minneapolis. He entered upon his 
labors the 14th of August, 1881. He was given charge of the 
enterprise, and, with the assistance of his efficient wife, the work 
made rapid progress. Mr. Chester had not labored man 3^ months 
before the Presbyter}- organized the little community- of believers 
into a church. This took place the 21st of March, 1882. Rev. 
Charles S. Pomeroy, D.D. , pastor of the Second Church, with. 
Rev. J. A. Se^-mour, acted as a commission of the Presbytery for 
this purpose. This was on a Wednesda}' evening, and there were 
twenty-three charter members. A week from the following 
Sunday, hoAvever, twenty-five more came 
into the church, so that it practicall}' 
started with fortv-eight members. Mr. 
# John A. Hartness, Mr. Samuel Evison, and 

Mr. Charles H. Beardslee were elected 
elders. Mr. Charles Craigie was made a 
deacon. The first trustees were Messrs. 
C. H. Beardslee, S. Evison, H. P. Eells, 
Dr. R. Horton, T. R. Whitehead and J. A. 
Dan P. Eeiis. Hartness. Rev. Mr. Chester was formally 

installed as pastor of the church by the 
Presbytery of Cleveland May 14, 1S82, his father-in-law, Rev. 
Charles Hawle}-, D.D., of Auburn, X. Y., preaching the sermon. 

Mr. Eells, being still identified with the SundaA'-school, saw 
the pressing need of a larger building. He purchased a lot on 
AVillson avenue at the corner of Lexington, and entered upon the 
erection of a church for the rapidl}- growing congregation. The 
corner-stone of the present beautiful structure was laid in Aug- 
ust, 1S83. Early in the next year it was ready for occupancy, 
and in the spring of 1SS4, the whole property was deeded to the 
trustees of the church. The building is of brick, with light stone 
trimmings, and its cost was S30.000. Thus, within two years, 
the church had attained a membership of 115, and found itself in 
possession of property worth 837,000, all through the generosit}' 
of one man. Mr. Chester continuedas pastor of the church until the 
ist of November, 18S9, when he resigned to accept editorial work 
in the office of "The Sunday School Times," of Philadelphia.

184 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 

During his pastorate there was a constant growth in member- 
ship, the number of communicants at the time of his departure 
being about 235. During the following interim, Rev. E. Bush- 
nell, D.D., supplied the pulpit for some weeks. 

Rev. Arthur J. Waugh, who had been serving the church at 
Willoughby for nearly ten years, was called to the vacant pulpit. 
He began his labors on the ist of April, 1890. During the first 
3^ear sixty-four were added to the church, making a net increase 
of fifty-five. Since that time the large terri::ory that the church 
controlled has become more limited, fifteen other churches having 
been built in the vicinity. At present, the membership is a little 
more than 300. In October, 1893, the pastor, with several of his 
helpers, organized a mission Sunday-school on the corner of 
Willson avenue and St. Clair street. This mission has prospered, 
and has an enrollment of 150.

BecKwitb memorial Presbyterian Cburcb. 

¥ 

MR. T. S. BECKWITH, for many years an Elder of the Sec- 
ond Presbyterian Church, who died March 25, 1876, made 
by will the following provisions for the erection of a church, or 
churches in Cleveland, v/hich should bear his name: 

"I give and bequeath to the Session of the Second Presbyterian 
Church (as agents) my Coal Stock in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh & New 
York Coal Co., to be held by them in trust, and the dividends to be by them 
re-invested without spending any of it until the income from it shall 
amount to ten thousand dollars, then the said Session shall build a church 
with said income of ten thousand dollars, in which the pews shall be 
forever free to all. The said Session shall then engage a pastor to preach 
in said church, and shall pay his salary, or such part of it as the congrega- 
tion shall fail to pay, from the income from the coal stock. The stock, or 
the value of it if the Company should dissolve, shall be kept forever as a 
fund to support the pastor of said church, or the pastors of the churches 
hereinafter described, and to build said churches. The church to be located 
where the Session think that it will do the most good, in the city of Cleve-

land. The church shall be called the Beckwith Church so long as it shall 
be supported in whole or in part by this fund. When the church becomes 
able to support itself in whole or in part, then the Session shall build 
another church at the same cost, as soon as they are able, with the income 
from the stock, and hire a pastor, as before. The Session shall continue 
to do so forever. And in every instance the church shall be called the 
Beckwith Church of the street or district in which it stands." 

The session of the Second Church became an incorporated 
body, and accepted this trust. By the summer of 1883, a suf- 
ficient fund had accumulated to warrant beginning work upon a 
chapel, a lot on the corner of Fairmount and Deering streets hav- 



morning, and the Rev. C. S. Pomeroy, D.D., pastor of the 
Second Church, in the evening. A Sunda}^- school was organized 
the first Sunday that the chapel was opened, and has since been 
maintained without interruption. June 17, 1885, Beckwith 
Presbyterian Church was organized with twenty-three members. 
The Rev. Mattoon M. Curtis was elected and installed as pastor, 
with Frederic A. Kendall as elder, and Elton G. Norris as 
deacon. The sermon was preached b}' Dr. C. S. Pomero}^ The 
charge to the pastor was given b}^ Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, and 
to the people by Dr. E. Bushnell. The pastoral relation thus 
formed was continued until April i, 188S, when it was dissolved

ing been purchased by Mrs. 
Beckwith and deeded to the 
session of the Second Church 
for this purpose. B}^ the 
close of 1884 the chapel was 
completed, and the Rev. Mat- 
toon M. Curtis, pastor of the 
Reformed Dutch Church, of 
Hastings, N. Y. , was invited 
to take charge of the work. 
He accepted, and entered upon 
his labors January 11, 1885, 
the chapel having been opened 
for its first service the previous 
Sunday-, the Rev. E. Bushnell, 
D.D., treasurer of Adelbert 
College, preaching in the

at the request of Mr. Curtis, that he might stud}- and travel 
abroad. His pastorate had been so signally blessed in the build- 
ing up of the church, and so completely had he won the love and 
esteem of all, that his resignation was accepted with the utmost 
reluctance and sorrow. After some 3'ears of study abroad, Dr. 
Curtis accepted the call to become Handy Professor of Intel- 
lectual Philosophy in Adelbert College, where he now teaches 
within sight of his old pastorate. 

That there might be no interruption to the work so 
auspiciously begun, steps were taken to immediately- secure 
another pastor, and the Rev. James D. Williamson, pastor of 
the First Presbyterian Church of Warren, was called. He ac- 
cepted, and entered upon his work 
April I, 1888, there being thus no 
/ ' 'J break between the close of Mr. Curtis' 

pastorate and the beginning of Mr. 
vl' WiUiamson's service. Mr. Williamson 

was installed as pastor of the church 
April 22, 1888, and still remains in 
that relation. 

During the year 1889, the need of 
a church building in addition to the 
chapel began to be urgently felt, if 
the work of the church was to be suc- 
Rev, Mattoon M, Curtis, Ph.D. cessfully and vigorously prosecuted. 

The matter was brought before the 
Presbyterian Union at its annual meeting, held in Januarys, 1890, 
and the Union recommended that the church be encouraged to 
apply to the churches for the $10,000, required to supplement 
their own exertions. The work of raising the amount required 
was immediately undertaken, but for a time with meager success. 
At length, however, the Second Church ver}- generoush' re- 
sponded to the need with a pledge for the entire Si 0,000, and this 
having been supplemented with gifts from members of other 
Presbyterian churches, the Society of the Beckwith Church, at a 
meeting held April 9, 1891, empowered the Building Committee 
to undertake at once the construction of the desired building. 
Plans prepared by Mr. Wm. W. Sabin were adopted, and the 
corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies September 6,

1 89 1. The church was completed in May, 1892, and cost, ex- 
clusive of the organ and memorial window, about ^26,000. The 
dedication took place Sunday, May 15, 1892. At the hour of 
morning service a farewell meeting was held in the chapel, at 
which addresses were made by the pastor, by the former pastor, 
Professor Curtis, and by two of the early members of the church. 
Captain F. A. Kendall and Professor Charles J. Smith. The 
dedication services proper were held at 3 p. m., Dr. C. S. Pome- 
roy preaching the sermon. Dr. H, C. Haydn preached at the 
evening service In the erection and furnishing of the new 
church building the congregation is greatly indebted, not only to 
the pastors and members of the Second Church and the Old Stone 
Church, but also to the family of the generous founder of the 
church. Special mention should be made of the memorial organ, 
the gift of Mrs. Beckwith in memory of her son, and of the me- 
morial window, the gift of Mr. Beckwith in memory of his father. 
This church is in close proximity to the educational center of 
Cleveland, and although Adelbert College is not a denominational 
institution, it is largely the product of Presbyterian money and 
devotion. Very fitting, then, is it that a Presbyterian Church 
has been located near this institution of learning, in which so 
much Presbyterian interest centers. There have been received 
into membership of this church since its organization about 400 
persons, and although much of the territory, which it was thought 
would be tributary to the church, remains to a considerable ex- 
tent unoccupied, under the faithful labors of Mr. Williamson and 
his people, the church is destined to have a sure, if slow, de- 
velopment.

Bethany Presbyterian Cburcb. 

BETHANY Presbyterian Church is the substantial expression 
of a desire for Presbyterian representation on the West Side, 
and is the last in a series of five attempts to accomplish that 
result. The first was in 1870, and was unsuccessful. The second 
was in 1873, when the Presbyterian Union undertook to accom- 
plish it, but on account of the financial panic of that year the 
project was abandoned. The following 5'ear, 1874, a third 
attempt resulted in failure. A fourth attempt was made at a date 
now unknown, when regular Sunday services and other work 
were maintained for six months, and then abandoned. The fifth 
attempt resulted in the organization of Bethany Church. 

This successful movement was inaugurated b}^ the Presbyter- 
ian element residing on the West side, and in that respect differed 
from the preceeding efforts, to which reference has been made. 
The first Sunday in January, 1888, forty children were gathered in 
the rooms of the Ohio Business University on Pearl street, through

the efforts of Mr. Charles Fay, then a member of the Old Stone 
Church. Mr. Fay was an earnest and warm-hearted Christian, 
having a great love for children, and remarkable power in attract- 
ing them to him. In this matter Mr. Fay had labored under the 
advice of the Rev. Wilton Merle Smith, then associate pastor ot 
the First Church. Previous to the organization of the school, 
Mr. Smith called together the pastors of the various West Side 
churches, to whom he stated his desire to establish a school on 
the West Side, first, because of what seemed to him an existing 
need, and second to provide Christian work for a number of the 
young people of the First Church, who were not then engaged in 
regular church work. To these pastors Mr. Smith further stated 
that there was no thought of establishing a Presbyterian church, 
but only of maintaining a mission Sunday-school under the 
auspices of the First Church. The project, as outlined by Mr. 
Smith, received the most cordial endorsement of every pastor 
present at that conference. The school was then opened, as has 
been stated. It increased rapidly, and at the end of six months 
had an enrollment of nearly four hundred. 

At the same time that this w^ork was begun, the Rev. Giles H. 
Dunning entered upon his duties as assistant pastor of the First 
Church, and at once, by direction of the session, took charge of 
the work. Frequent and earnest requests were made for a Pres- 
byterian preaching service in connection with the school, and an 
afternoon service was finally established. Then followed requests 
for the organization of a Presb3^terian church. The matter was 
reported to the session of the First Church, whereupon Mr. 
Dunning was directed to canvass the West Side with the view of 
ascertaining the extent of this desire. The result of this canvass 
was such as to lead the pastor and elders of the First Church to 
feel that the time had come, at last, for the organization of a Pres- 
byterian church on the West Side. After due deliberation it was 
decided to recommend to the Presbyterian Union that it take the 
work under its fostering care, and proceed to effect the organiza- 
tion of a church. The Union took favorable action upon the 
recommendation, and with its endorsement and assurance of 
financial aid, the petitioners presented their formal request to the 
Presbytery of Cleveland to be erected into a church. The request 
was granted, and Bethany Church was duly organized, July 2, 



200 HISTORY OF CLEVEI.AND PRKSBYTERIANISM. 

1889, in the rooms of the Ohio Business University, where the 
mission school had been organized just eighteen months before. 
There were sixty-one charter members, of which number fifty-six 
joined by letter, twenty-two from the Old First, and the remain- 
der from various other churches in the city, and in different parts 
of the country, and Scotland. Five came upon confession of 
faith, and all were Presbyterian stock. The church continued to 
worship in the rooms where it was organized until the following 
February, 1890, when it moved into attractive quarters in the 
new Wieber Block, corner of Pearl and Jay streets, which it had 
leased for a term of five years, and furnished at an expense of 
$1,200. 

April I, 1894, the society purchased a lot, situated at the cor- 
ner of Gordon avenue and West Clinton street, at a cost of $4,000. 
This was done upon the advice of the Presbyterian Union, with 
the assurance that the Union would provide the means for the 
erection of a chapel at a cost not to exceed $10,000. This en- 
gagement the Union has duly fulfilled. The chapel, which has a 
stone front and brick side walls, was commenced September 29, 
1894, and was dedicated June 2, 1895. 

The Rev. Giles H. Dunning, who was identified with this 
work almost from the time of its beginning, as a Sundaj^-school, 
was called to the pastorate of the church immediately after its 
organization, and entered upon his duties August i, 1889. His 
installation took place September 26, following. The first officers 
of the church were: Elders, Noah S. Amstutz, John Cameron, 
and George Taylor; Alexander W. Calder, though not an elder, 
was made Clerk of the Session, and subsequently was elected an 
elder; Trustees, James McLearie, President; Hugh Taylor, Sec- 
retary; T. W. Hunt, Treasurer; David Taylor, John Smith and 
James McKay. The trustees were also chosen to the office of 
deacon. This was adopted as a distinct line of policy at the 
beginning, and has been continued to the present time. The 
church is well organized, having a I^adies' Aid Society, which 
has raised the sum of $1,295. This has been expended in aid of 
the church and various charitable enterprises. 

Bethany Church is now finely located in a new and growing 
community, and the promise of a strong Presbyterian Church 
upon the West Side is bright.

South Presbvtermn Cburcb, 



THE history of the South Presbyterian Church is the history 
of the organization and growth of a Mission Sunday-school. 
In the fall of 1890, Rev. William Gaston, D.D., pastor of the 
North Presbyterian Church, preached three times to a little gath- 
ering of people upon the South Side, who seemed desirous of 
organizing a Sunday-school, if not a chiirch, and during October 
of that year, under the leadership of Rev. Alonzo Michael, a hall 
was rented for Sunday-school purposes. January i, 1891, the 
newly organized school moved into the Benhoff Block on Pearl 
street, where it grew rapidly. The necessity of a church organiza- 
tion was soon felt. Rev. Alonzo Michael was a Presbyterian min- 
ister living on the South Side, without any regular charge by rea- 
son of ill-health, and not being physically able to assume the full 
responsibility of such a new work, the Presbyterian Union en- 
gaged, in May, 1891, Rev. James D. Corwin to take charge of 



206 HISTORY OF CIvEVKlvAND PRESBYTKRIANISM. 




this work in connection with that of the Madison Avenue, or 
East End Mission. Mr. Corwin was a native of Cleveland, a 
member of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church, and a 
recent graduate of Adelbert College, and of Princeton Seminary. 
Under the direction and control of the Presbyterian Union, and 
with the hearty co-operation of the people interested in this South 

Side enterprise, steps were taken 
by Mr. Corwin toward the erec- 
^ \ tion of a church edifice. The 

Mission in the meantime had been 
crowded out of the rooms in the 
Benhoff Block, and had moved 
into the rooms of the Funeral Re- 
form Association on Pearl street. 
A lot situated at the corner of 
Scranton avenue and Prame street 
was purchased by the Union, 
and upon it the present church 
building was erected. The first 
religious meeting held in this 
building was an early morning 
prayer-meeting. New Year's day, 
1892. At the previous fall meet- 
ing of the Cleveland Presbytery, permission had been given to 
form a Presbyterian Church, and January 21, 1892, the Presbyter- 
ial Committee, consisting of Rev. Paul 
F. Sutphen, D.D., and Elders R. F. 
Smith and James A. Robinson, duh^ or- 
ganized the South Presbyterian Church. 
The work now demanding the whole care 
of a minister, a call was issued to Mr. 
Corwin, who, up to this time, had divided 
his labors between the two mission pro- 
jects, then under care of the Presbyterian 
Union. Mr. Corwin was installed pastor 
of this young church May 3, 1892, but 
his ministerial career, so earnestly and 
laboriously begun, was soon cut short. 
After a brief illness of typhoid fever, he died September 26, 1892.

Calvary Presbyterian Cburcb. 



¥ 

FOR some years prior to 1878, a Union Sunday-school had 
been maintained on Euclid avenue, beyond Willson avenue, 
when the latter was the eastern boundary of the city. Members 
of several churches, among whom were T. Dwight Eells, H. B. 
Tuttle and others, were for many years interested in this mission 
work. The growth of churches in that direction, and the death 
of some of the workers led to the discontinuance of the school. 
In November, 1878, Dr. Haydn, pastor of the First Presbyterian 
Church, was invited to reopen the work, and to prosecute it as a 
Presbyterian mission. This invitation was accepted as a call of 
Providence. The new movement began with a weekly prayer- 
meeting in the chapel, and this was followed by the organization 
of a Sunday-school, which was effected January i, 1880, with 
sevent3^-three persons present, Mr. L. W. Bingham acting as

superintendent. The school soon grew in numbers to 250, and 
the old chapel having been turned over to the First Church, a lot 
was secured at the corner of Euclid and East Madison avenues, 
upon which the chapel was moved. Rev. Rollo Ogden was 
called as assistant minister by the First Church, and the first 
Sunday of July, 1880, church services were commenced. This 
first service was a communion service, and members were received. 
For twelve years this organization was collegiate with the First 
Church, sharing its ministry, oversight, and generous co-operation. 
During this period the new chapel of stone was built, at a total 
cost of $21,000, and dedicated free of debt, September 30, 1883. 
The little wooden chapel, that faced Euclid avenue, was used 
for a primary Sunday-school, until an annex w^as built to the 

stone chapel, at a cost of $5,000 ; the 
relic of other days then gave way to the 
foundation of the elegant new church 
edifice, w^hich now occupies the corner. 
This edifice, begun in the autumn of 
1887, was occupied for the first time 
January 5, 1890, and cost the sum of 
$80,000. From the beginning of this 
enterprise, the First Church had, be- 
sides sharing its ministry, invested in 
this church over $40,000. The local 
current expenses, however, had been 

almost wholly met by the Calvary con- 
Rev. David 0. Mears, D.D. ' . , \, ^ 

stituency. with the rapid growth of 

Calvary, it was deemed best to abandon the collegiate form of 
church life, that had existed with the First Church. Ma}^ 3, 
1892, Articles of Incorporation were signed by J. H. McBride, 
ly. W. Bingham, J. H. Danforth, and J. E. Upson, and filed in 
the office of the Secretary of State, May 6, 1892. Sunday after- 
noon, Ma}^ 22, 1892, the commissioners appointed by the Presby- 
tery met at Calvary Church, and organized the church, with 308 
members from the First Church, two members from the Wood- 
land Avenue, and one from the Case Avenue Church, making a 
total of 311 charter members. This meeting was addressed by a 
number of the ministers present. May 27, 1892, a meeting was 
held to adopt rules and regulations for the government of the

corporation and church, and the followmg officers were chosen : 
Trustees, I. N. TopHff, T. H. Wilson, O. B. Campbell, H. D.

A. Taylor, J. H. Danforth, J. A. Hartness, J. E. Severance, W. J. 
Achison, W. R. Bartlett. At a meeting held February 6, 1893, 
the church society voted to call, for its first pastor. Rev. David 
O. Mears, D.D., of Worcester, Mass. This call was accepted, 
and Dr. Mears preached his first sermon, as pastor, April 23, 1893. 
This pastorate was not long. November 17, 1895, Dr. Mears 
off'ered his resignation, and December 2, 1895, a special meeting 
of the Presbytery, the pastoral relation was dissolved. During 
Dr. Mears' pastorate there were added to the church membership 
fift3'-seven on profession of faith, and 243 on certificate, making 
the total addition 300. Calvary Church is located in the ver}' 
heart of the East End, the residence portion of Cleveland, and 
ought to become, not only the strongest Presbyterian Church of 
the city, but of the state, and one of the most noted of the Pres- 
byterian Church, at large.

maflisott Avenue Presbyterian Cburch. 

¥ 

THE Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church is the outgrowth 
of a mission Sunday-school, organized January 6, 1890, 
over a saloon on Becker avenue, by Rev. William Gaston, D.D., 
pastor of the North Presbyterian Church. Mr. K. J. Climo was 
appointed superintendent of the school, a position he at present 
occupies. The only other superintendent the school has had 
since its organization was Mr. W. H. Pancoast, who served a 
short term during the year 1890. The Sunday-school moved 
from the hall on Becker avenue, March 30, 1890, to a little chapel 
on Lockyear avenue, owned by a German church. In February, 
1 89 1, Rev. Alonzo Michael was secured to preach Sunday after- 
noons after Sunday-school, but owing to ill-health he resigned. 
In May, 1891, Rev. James D. Corwin was appointed by the Pres- 
byterian Union to take charge of the school, then known as the 



226 HISTORY OF CI^EVKlvAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 



East End Mission, devoting one-half of his time to this new work, 
and one-half to the South Side Mission, which became, in time, 
the South Presbyterian Church. Mr. Corwin accepted a call to 
the South Church in January, 1892. The 6th of the following 
May, Rev. Charles L. Chalfant took charge of the East End 
Mission under the direction of the North Church Session, and the 
14th of September, 1892, the Presbytery granted a petition 
for a church organization, which was effected October 19, 
1892. The church started with ninety charter members, of 
which number sixty- four came from the North Church and seven- 
teen upon confession of their faith, only nine coming from other 
churches by letter. Mr. E. J. Climo was elected elder, and 

installed by the committee of Pres- 
bytery. At the same time, Rev. 
Charles ly. Chalfant was called 
to the pastorate, and was installed 
November 10, 1892. 

The Madison Avenue Church 
owes much to the generous friends 
in the First, Calvary, and North 
Presbyterian Churches for their 
aid in securing a building. 
Through the instrumentality of 
Dr. Haydn, over $9,000 were 
raised in the First and Calvary 
Churches, and expended on the 
site and building, while Dr. Gas- 
ton sent what was still more needful than a building, sixty-five 
members from the North Church, into the new organization, with 
his encouragement and blessing. The church building, located 
at the corner of Wade Park and East Madison avenues, was dedi- 
cated December 4, 1892. This structure is the Sunday-school 
building, proper, of the future church edifice, which will doubt- 
less occupy the whole lot. In the summer of 1894, the building 
was enlarged and improved, at an expense of about $2,000. The 
growth of this church has been steady and encouraging. There 
have been added to the church 293 members, over 100 of whom 
have been received upon confession of faith. The Sunda3^-school 
has always been an important department of this church, and 
reports over 400 scholars.

The Boulevard Branch Sunday-school is a missionar}' pro- 
ject of the Madison Avenue Church, undertaken by the session 
with a view of providing religious instruction for the people 
living in the vicinity of Superior and Dean streets. The Sunday- 
school was organized in the Parkwood School-house, with a mem- 
bership of fifty teachers and scholars. This mission is the 
youngest Presbyterian enterprise in the city, and there is good 
prospect of its developing into an independent church in the near 
future.

filenvllk Presbyterian Cbwrcb. 



EARLY in 1893, the Presbyterian Union instructed Rev. 
William Gaston, D.D., pastor of the North Presbyterian 
Church, some of whose members lived in Glenville, to look into 
the advisability of starting a church in that locality. He there- 
upon held a preliminary meeting June 11, 1893, at the home of 
John A. Leighton, on Ludwig street. Thence followed a 
cottage prayer-meeting, June 15, at Dr. Irwin C. Carlisle's home, 
on Doan street. At that meeting, Henry P. Winter was 
appointed to act with Dr. Gaston in gathering a Sunday-school. 
The first meeting of this school was held June 25, 1893, at the 
old brick school-house situated at the corner of St. Clair street 
and Lake View avenue, at which forty-three persons were present. 
The following Sabbath the first officers were elected. They 
were : Superintendent, John A. Leighton ; Assistant Super- 
intendant, Henry P. Winter; Secretary, Mrs. Ella P. Car-

lisle ; Treasurer, Frank Yost ; Organist, George A. Yost, 
and Postmaster, Frank L. Yost. Seven teachers were chosen. 
The school prospered, and enjoyed also occasional preaching by 
Rev. Dr. Gaston, Rev. Charles L. Chalfant, and Rev. R. A. 
George. In October, 1893, the school rented the Glenville 
Disciple Church for Sunday afternoons, and there enjoyed preach- 
ing services after Sunday-school by the above named ministers, 
also, by Rev. Arthur J. Waugh, Rev. Professors Cleaveland and 
Curtis, Dr. Hall, Dr. Haydn, Dr. Bushnell, Rev. WilHam Knight, 
Rev. J. h Roemer, Rev. Arthur C. I^udlow, Rev. John A. Sey- 
mour, and other members of the Presbytery, preaching in turn. 



ruling elders. In order to have morning services, the Town Hall 
was then engaged. In the meantime, two lots at the corner of 
Doan and Helena streets were secured, with funds sufl&cient to 
commence the erection of a chapel. Plans prepared by William 
W. Sabin were adopted, and a fine chapel was erected. The 
society having been incorporated June 16, 1894, the incorporators 
met June 26, following, and elected as President of the Societ}^ 
Charles H. Moore ; Vice-President, John H. Beattie ; Secretary, 
Henry P. Winter; and as Trustees, Messrs. Frank Yost, Z.W. Mor- 
ris, C. H. Moore, J. A. Patton, H. W. Leighton, A. H. Hinshil- 
wood, and Dr. I. C. CarHsle. A building committee was ap- 
pointed, and by its vigorous action the chapel was begun in 




Rev. Theodore Y, Gardner. 




At the suggestion and through 
the influence of Rev. H. C. 
Haydn, D.D., this mission was 
organized by a committee of the 
Presbytery into the Glenville 
Presbyterian Church, June 10, 
1 894. There were thirty-six char- 
ter members, and Rev. Charles 
L. Zorbaugh was given charge 
of the work, together with that 
of the Windermere congregation, 
the Presbyterian Union bearing 
part of the expense. Messrs.

August, 1894, and joyfully dedicated May 12, 1895. This happy 
consummation was very largely due to the substantial gifts of 
such generous friends as Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mather, Mr. and 
Mrs. L. H. Severance, Rev. H. C. Haydn, D.D., Judge Samuel 
E. Williamson, Mrs. C. W. Bingham, Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. 
Williams, Mr. Samuel A. Raymond, Mrs. Amasa Stone, and 
Mrs. D. B. Chambers. Rev. Charles L. Zorbaugh having decided 
to take the work at Windermere, the Glenville Church called, as 
its first pastor, Rev. Theodore Yale Gardner. Mr. Gardner began 
to suppl}^ the pulpit June 23, 1895, became pastor-elect August 
I St, and was installed by committee of Cleveland Presbytery, 
October 30, 1895. There is a bright future before this 3^oung 
church, located as it is in a suburb that is destined to become, in 
time, a populous residence portion of Cleveland.

minaermere Presbyterian CDwrcb* 

¥ 

THE Windermere Presbyterian Church, as well as other 
younger Presbyterian churches in Cleveland, owes its 
inception to the far-seeing action of Rev. H. C. Hadyn, D. D., 
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. In the fall of 1892, 
noticing the drift of population toward East Cleveland, or what 
was formerly known as Collamer, Dr. Hadyn purchased a lot at 
the south-eastern corner of Euclid avenue and Windermere street. 
This point is about mid- way between Lake View Cemetery and 
East Cleveland hamlet, where the oldest church in the 
Cleveland Presbytery is located. Far enough away from the 
East Cleveland Church as not to seriously weaken its life, this 
chapel stands in a region that, with present rapid transit, is 
destined to be occupied by residences. The Presbyterian Union, 
recognizing the strategic character of the location, as related to 
the growth of Presbyterianism, assumed care of the enterprise, 



240 



HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 



and under its auspices the chapel was constructed, and opened to 
the public May 6, 1894, the total cost of the lot and building 
being ^7,289. The property was entrusted to the charge of a 
committee of the Union, consisting of Messrs. S. F. Adams, 
C. H. Fuller, W. C. McEwen and J. D. Chambers. 

About this time the Glenville Presbyterian Mission was also 
formed, and the two fields were associated, and placed under the 
ministerial care of Rev. Charles L. Zorbaugh, who was called to 
the work from the graduating class of McCormick Theological 
Seminary. For a year the work at Windermere was conducted 
under this joint arrangement, at first with only a small Sunday- 



shipers. The summer and fall brought new families to the 
neighborhood, and new" faces to the chapel, and the growing 
demand for a church home resulted in the organization of the 
Windermere Presbyterian Church, January- 5, 1896, with a char- 
ter membership of thirty. Rev. Mr. Zorbaugh was called to the 
pastorate of this young church, and was installed February 10, 
1896. The young church begins life under happy auspices. Its 
offices are splendidly manned with tried workers, a Christian En- 
deavor Society has been organized, and the ladies are doing 
efficient work. The indications point to a rapid growth of popu- 
lation, which, by the hand of God, means for this church the 
opening of a great and effectual door of service.

school and pra3^er-meeting, but 
later with Sunday evening preach- 
ing service. The situation was 
unique, as the chapel was neither 
a mission, nor yet a church. 
Practically it was an independent 
preaching station, waiting to 
provide future comers with a 
church home. It had not long 
to wait. In May, 1895, the Pres- 
byterians of Glenville entered 
their beautiful chapel, and parted 
company with Windermere, and 
the latter now carried on all the 
regular services of a church, 
though still with very few wor-

Bolton nmm Presbyterian CDnrcft. 

THE Bolton Avenue Presbyterian Church, the youngest of the 
church organizations connected with the Cleveland Presby- 
tery, is an outgrowth, or rather an extension of the collegiate 
system, under which the First Presbyterian Church existed for a 
number of years. During the summer and fall of 1890, through 
the labors of Dr. Hadyn, and others of the First Presbyterian 
Church, a chapel was erected upon the rear of a lot, situated at the 
corner of Bolton and Cedar avenues. The cost of the lot and 
chapel, about ^15,000, was wholly met by the two congregations 
of the First Church. This made the First Church a collegiate 
organization with three congregations, namely, the Old Stone, 
Calvary, and the Bolton Chapel. The first preaching service in 
Bolton Chapel was held the first Sunday in January, 1891, 
and was conducted by Dr. Haydn. Services w^ere then regularly

conducted by Dr. Haydn, the senior pastor of the First Church, 
and by the associate pastors, Reverends Burt K. Howard, Joseph 
H. Selden, and William Knight, until July, 1892, when the Rev. 
R. A. George was employed by the officers of the First Church 
to take charge of the Bolton Chapel. This new enterprise grew 
rapidly, and during the years 1893-4, ^ church edifice was 
erected. Plans prepared by William W. Sabin were adopted, and 
the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies May 21, 
1892, and the building was dedicated November 8, 1894. The 
cost of this building was about ^25,000. In the meantime the 



call was extended in June, 1894, to the Rev. John S. Zelie, pastor 
of the Congregational Church at Plymouth, Conn., who the fol- 
lowing month became associate pastor of the First Church, in 
charge of Bolton Chapel. The Chapel continued its work, until 
it became strong enough to separate from the First Church, the 
collegiate system having been abandoned. The independent 
church organization was formed May 3, 1896, when 171 members 
of the First Church withdrew by letter to form the Bolton Avenue 
Presbyterian Church. The same day. May 3, 1896, Rev. John S. 
Zelie was installed by a committee of Presbytery, as first pastor, 
and under his gifted ministry, the church cannot but prosper. 



Rev. John Sheridan Zelie, 





congregation had been rent in 
twain in the spring of 1894, when 
more than half of the members, 
and a still greater part of the 
Sunday-school, withdrew with 
Mr. George to form a Congrega- 
tional church. The immediate 
cause of this division was the 
attempt, on the part of the offi- 
cers of the First Church, to end 
the term of supply of Mr.. George, 
who had never been installed as 
associate pastor, in the hope of 
securing a permanent pastor, in 
whom the parish might be fully 
united, for the new church. A

Some Presbyterian Tacts. 



¥ 

IN 1630, the first Presbyterian minister in America, Rev. Richard 
Denton, settled in Massachusetts. In 1643, Rev. Francis 
Doughty held services in New York City, and in 1644, the first 
Presbyterian congregation was formed at Hemstead, L- I., N. Y., 
in charge of Mr. Denton. In 1683, Rev. Francis Makemie began 
his work in Maryland. The first Presbytery was formed in 1705, 
and twelve years later the first Synod was formed at Philadel- 
phia. In 1775, the General Synod issued a pastoral letter sus- 
taining the Continental Congress, and in 1788, the Constitution 
of the Church was adopted by the General Synod. The follow- 
ing year, 1789, the first General Assembly met at Philadelphia. 
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in 1810, and 
in 1838, the Presb5^terian Church divided into the Old and New 
School branches. The Presbyterian Church South organized at 
Augusta, Ga., in 1861, and in 1869, the Old and New School 
branches were reunited. With all these changes the Presby- 
terian Church has become one of the largest and most influential 
churches in the land. There were reported at the General As- 
sembly at Pittsburgh, May, 1895, 3^ Synods; 224 Presbyteries; 
6,797 Ministers; 454 Licentiates; 215 I^ocal Evangelists; 1,477 
Candidates; 7,496 Churches; 26,590 Elders; 9,058 Deacons ; 67- 
938 members added on examination; 38,734 members added by 
certificate, making a total membership of 922,904. The Sunday- 
school membership was 994,793. The Congregational expenses 
of the churches for that year were ^9,921,141, while the benevo- 
lent contributions amounted to ^3,726,438. There are thirteen 
denominations in the United States that have the Presbyterian 
form of government, with a total membership of 1,798,365, while 
in the whole world there are about 30,000,000 adherents to the 
Presbyterian and Reformed Churches, which number ninety 
branches, many of which are members of the Presbyterian Alliance. 
The Presbyterian Church North has established in the United 
States about seventy-five higher institutions of learning, and 



278 



HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. 



much Presbyterian money has been given to undenominational 
colleges. 

In the State of Ohio, which has one Synod, there were re- 
ported at the meeting of Synod at Chillicothe, October, 1895, ^7 
Presbyteries; 522 Ministers; 26 Licentiates; 160 Candidates; 639 
Churches; 2,761 Elders; 880 Deacons; 94,618 communicants, 
and 84,694 Sunday-school scholars. The congregational expen- 
ses of the churches were ^859,806, while there were given to be- 
nevolent and miscellaneous work $415,000. 

In educational work Ohio Presbyterians have contributed to 
the establishment and maintenance of Western Reserve, Marietta, 
Miami, Oxford, Muskingum, and Wooster Colleges. Wooster 
University, founded in 1870, is owned and controlled by the Synod 
of Ohio. This thriving institution is located at Wooster, O., and 
we give herewith pictures of the main building, and of Hoover 
Cottage, recently erected for the accommodation of young ladies. 
This latter building is the gift of the late Frederick G. Hoover, 
of Sandusky. Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, D.D., formerly a well- 
known pastor of Pittsburgh, is the honored President of this 
University, which has accomplished much for Presbyterianism in 
the quarter century of its existence. The graduates of the Col- 
legiate Department number about 800, and the number of minis- 
ters and missionaries graduated equals more than forty per cent, 
of all male graduates. Ohio Presbyterians have one theological 
school, Lane Seminary, founded in 1829, at Cincinnati. Dr. 
Lyman Beecher was the first President, and Professor of Theol- 
ogy in this institution. Many prominent men have occupied the 
chairs of instruction. At present, the institution is passing 
through a transition period. Rev. E. D. Morris, D.D., L.L-D., 
being the only one of the older Professors upon whose 
shoulders has rested of late the chief responsibility of providing 
instruction for the increasing number of students. With the 
new corps of teachers, there is every prospect for the restoration 
of this Theological Seminary to its former usefulness and power. 



FINIS. 



¥ 

BETWEEN the Preface and the Finis of this book, there lies a 
varied experience. The book has been a growth. The 
original plan has been subject to many changes, making 
the work better, we hope. The first scope of the project was a 
general history and directory of the Presbyterian churches of 
Cleveland; later this was enlarged to embrace the Presbytery, by 
the introduction of the articles in the fore-part of the book, touch- 
ing the churches outside the city. Before the end was reached, 
it was deemed best to add the directory of the latter churches, and 
so the separation of their material occurred. 

A word as to the pictures in the book. Wishing to present 
pictures of representative Presbyterian laymen, and being unable 
to select a few from so large a number, we extended an invitation 
to all the officers of the churches to send their photographs, and 
in order to have the good lady workers of our churches repre- 
sented, appeal for pictures was made to the past and present 
officers of the Presbyterial Missionary Societies. The ministers' 
pictures are those of the present, and ex-pastors, and of the pres- 
ent members of the Presbytery, who are not pastors of any of 
the churches. It was utterly impossible to extend this feature of 
the book so as to embrace the many prominent officers of the 
churches, who are no longer living, or to include former members 
of the Presbytery. This will explain why many, whose memor}^ 
will ever be reverenced in the different churches, are not here 
represented. 

That there are mistakes, in a work of this nature, is to be 
expected. A few are most aggravating. For example, the name 
of Mr. Eouis H. Severance, under his picture at the beginning of 
the article on the Presbyterian Union, has been printed Lewis, in- 
stead of Louis. The name having been first mis-spelled in an 
old article on the Presbyterian Union, it naturally crept into the 
manuscript, and was not discovered until too late to be corrected. 
Considering the sources of information, and the condition of 



28o HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERTANISM. 

much of the material from which this book has been compiled, it 
has proved an immense task to present it in its present form. 
We wish to return thanks to all who have kindly aided in any 
way, and notwithstanding the imperfections of the work, we 
hope that the book may crystallize much historical matter which 
will be, in years to come, a help to some future historian of 
Cleveland Presbyterianism. Setting forth, as the book does, the 
combined power of the Cleveland Presbytery, in the Centennial 
year of the city whose name the Presbytery bears, may it prove a 
stimulus to all members of the churches to labor more earnestly 
for the advancement of the kingdom of Christ. If this be the 
case, our labor will not have been in vain.
